A hearing is scheduled on Thursday regarding the Michael Jackson estate. Read on for details...

John Branca and John McClain, lawyers for Jackson's estate, have filed an application requesting that they be appointed as special administrators and be given general powers, granting them limited authority to administer the estate.

"Despite any claims to the contrary, we are confident Michael Jackson’s will is valid, that he signed it and that it reflects his wishes," Howard Weitzman, attorney for John Branca and John McClain, said in a statement. "All three witnesses listed on the will recall being present when Michael signed it."

  • Hey Insider! Jon Gosselin's lawyer is SOL. The lawyer who was sponsoring Heller filed the paperwork today to withdraw his support. Jon is going to court Monday with who now? People have to go to other websites to get information.
