Joe Jackson Is OUT of the Will

If ever there was a reason for MJ to have a will, it's this!

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Michael Jackson's will, last amended in 2002, provides for his kids and his mother, but leaves nothing to his father Joe.

John Branca, Jackson's primary lawyer from 1980 to 2006, is reportedly in possession of the will – which he claims to have written – and plans to submit it to Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday.


According to the will, Jackson left his estate — estimated at $1 billion — to his mother, three children and one or more charities. It also reportedly names Branca and music executive John McClain as executors.

So if Michael Jackson was broke, we want to be broke like that.

It is not known if the 2002 will included instructions on custody of Jackson's three children -- Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11 and Prince Michael II, 7.

Keep plugging that record label, Joe. It's about all you have left!
