Judge allows Jackson estate challenge

Judge allows Jackson estate challenge
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge says Michael Jackson's mother can challenge the men currently administering her son's estate without losing her stake.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff's ruling was released Friday in Los Angeles.

Attorneys for Katherine Jackson had asked him to decide whether she could challenge the administrators without invoking a "no contest" clause that would cause her to lose her 40 percent share of the singer's estate.

The judge's ruling clears the way for Katherine Jackson to challenge whether attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain are best-suited to handle the multimillion dollar estate.

Her attorneys could argue that the men are unfit to serve, or that Michael Jackson was under undue influence when he signed his 2002 will.
