Jackson’s Last Will Includes Diana Ross

The last will and testiment of the late Michael Jackson has been filed with the court, and the documents made available to the media through TMZ.com.

In the seven-year-old documents, Jackson has labeled his mother, Katherine, as the guardian of his three children. The will also states that if Katherine died before him or, for some reason, couldn’t care for the children, they would be put under the guardianship of fellow performer, Diana Ross.

The will’s co-Executors, John Branca (Jackson’s lawyer) and John McClain (a music exec), released a statement on behalf of their deceased client.

“The most important element of Michael’s will is his unwavering desire that his mother, Katherine, become the legal guardian for his three children,” the joint statement read.

Jackson has left the entirety of his estate to the Michael Jackson Family Trust, with property to be divided equally between his three children. His ex-wife and mother to the two eldest Jackson children, Debbie Rowe, was not named in the will.
