Michael Jackson: Inside the Will

"The Insider" talks to The Wall Street Journal for details about what they claim to be Michael Jackson's will.

Although it has yet to be filed with the court, it is believed a will written in 2002 is in the hands of a lawyer for the late superstar. The will allegedly divides his estate between his mother, three children and one or more charities.

According to the WSJ, Michael died about $500 million in debt. They point out, however, that given his assets it is likely his total estate outweighs the debt by around $200 million.

Meanwhile, Neverland Valley Ranch could hang in the balance. Due to defaulting on a $24.5 million loan, another entity owns the property.

Since his death this past Thursday, at least two other wills have emerged, according to the WSJ reports. In her court filing Monday for temporary custody of the children, Michael's mother Katherine said she has not seen a will.

As we reported, Katherine was appointed the temporary special administrator of her son's estate yesterday.

  • I grew up with Michael and over the years watched him change. That did not change the way I feel about him. He is the greatest of all times and there will never be another like him. He was truly sent to us from God. So many people can not love his...

    • Surrogates do not have rights because they sign papers. As I understand it the mother of blanket does not even know that he went to Micheal Jackson, so that can't be you.
