In a Los Angeles Superior Court, Judge Mitchell Beckloff squashed the concerns raised by Katherine Jackson’s lawyers, and ruled that two longstanding advisors of her son, Michael, would administer the pop star’s estate.
According to Michael Jackson’s 2002 will, he had named lawyer John Branca and music executive John McClain as executors.
Lawyers for Jackson’s mother wanted Judge Mitchell Beckloff to delay the decision. One of her lawyers, John Schreiber, argued that “there is concern over handing over the keys to the kingdom so quickly.”
However, Judge Beckloff in his ruling said it appeared clear from the will that Jackson was comfortable with Branca and McClain acting as executors of the estate.
