Mrs. Katherine Jackson filed paperwork today to become administrator of Michael's estate, hoping to save the inheritance for the children. The family believes he died without a valid will. Joe & Katherina also have temporary custody of the three children. WHEW!
Now, this makes me think, how many parents don't have wills regarding their children? Do you have a plan where your children will go upon your death? Is it in a legal document that CAN NOT be argued?
Michael's will has not been opened yet. Let's keep praying that the children don't get seperated and they remain with family. If you don't have a plan for your kids... GET ONE. I don't believe Michael planned on dying last Thursday.

The Jacksons may have no legal rights where the children are involved. I don't believe there is an ounce of Jackson blood in those lily white blond haired blue eyed kids. Even with their faces covered one can tell. I think he paid a lot to Debbie to keep quiet about the whole thing and she may come out now with the truth.
No matter how white Jackson made himself he was still black as far as DNA is concerned.

The children don't have Debbies blood either.
It's no secret anymore. Michaels family came out & spoke the truth. Michael or Debbie have no DNA connection to any of the kids. But that doesn't mean anything because Michael was still the father. He raised them & is on the birth certificate. Debbie just carried the 2 older kids for Michael. People do this all the time. Doesn't make them anyless of a parent. So yes, since he is the father of the children, yes his family would have rights to them.

I don't know how the law interprets it. Having a name on a birth certificate may not be enough. If they aren't his kids then he would have had to adopt them. I think the laws are very specific when it comes to surrogacy. It would explain Debbie's detachment, although even if it wasn't my kid I was carrying, I'd still feel a deep attachment.
I know in my own case my adoptive mother is listed on my birth certificate as my foster mother.

I can tell you that if he had adopted them that makes them MORE his than blood according to law. Being adopted I can tell you that my adoptive parents are on the birth certificate. I can also tell you that the law is in favor of adopted children. They, meaning adopted children, by law, can not be disowned because they were chosen. (Not that blood babies AREN'T chosen! I have FOUR that were VERY chosen!)
Just making a point that if he had adopted them, they are his.. DNA or not. If he didn't get around to adopting them.... oh man...
I'm praying for a judge with some common sense to give them to their family that was created especially for them. That's what Michael did. He obviously went out of his way to create a home and a family.

Just now, I seen it on the news that he actually has a last will and it was already filed. I heard that in the will he is giving the custody of his children to his mother as well as the properties.
It will be a huge mess for a wealthy person to die so sudden without a will. It can create issues among family. For the kind of person he is, he is smart enough to have a will since there is no assurance on his health.

You're right.. most wealthy people have their i's dotted and t's crossed. EVERY parent should have a will... even if you don't hav a penny to your name... you have children in your name that will need a home. EVERY parent should decide the future care of their children and make sure it is not contestable.
