Judge rules in Jacko’s mum’s favour – for now
Michael Jackson’s mother Katherine will remain the temporary administrator of his estate until next week, a judge has ruled.
Katherine’s lawyers got an order giving her temporary control of the estate earlier this week, based on her belief that Jackson left no will.
But they had to return to court in Los Angeles on Wednesday, after the singer’s will was filed.
The named executors of the will – lawyer John Branca and music executive John McClain – have said they want to make sure they have control over the assets and asked a judge to nullify Katherine’s power to move the late superstar’s assets around, even on a temporary basis.
But the judge has decided not to make any change to the original order before a hearing on Monday.
There is not believed to be any conflict between Katherine and the new executors.
