Debbie Rowe wasn’t the “mother” of anyone. She was a walking incubator carrying around someone else’s eggs and sperm.

“Diana has raised five children and has been praised for keeping them away from controversy.”

Actually, I’ve only raised three, but thanks for the compliment, LOL!

I’m glad Debbie Rowe isn’t getting a dime. She sucks.

Your children aren’t mired in controversy?

IMHO, considering Jackson is not the father, which she knew at the time, she should be brought up on charges for selling the children for $20M.

The real fun will begin when attempts are made to have one or more of his wills invalidated by the probate court on the grounds of diminished mental capacity.I’ve read that his father wasn’t even mentioned in the will.Even I know that you can’t do that.If you intend to “disinherit” someone who might otherwise,under state law,be one of your rightful heirs you *must* mention his/her name and specify that you’re knowingly,intentionally and deliberately disinheriting him/her.Otherwise that person can argue in court that the deceased just “forgot” to give $$$ to him/ her.Such claims,I understand,are all-too- frequent and all-too-often successful.

The will leaves his ex-wife Debbie Rowe - mother of two of the children - NOTHING.

Nothing? She got 7 million dollars and a house in Beverly Hills.

If you look at the actual will on Smoking Gun, it says “I have intentionally intended to omit my heirs” and the very next sentence - “I have intentionally intended to omit Debbie Rowe”.

Then he names her, along with his kids and mother and Diana Ross, in the last pages of the will. I don’t think he omitted her. Guess the media forgot to mention the kids were “omitted”, too.

Yep... in most states, legatees take on the debts and the assets - or they waive their portion of the assets in order to avoid having the debt attach to them.

Even with Jackson's death provoking a surge in sales of his music, half a Billion dollars is one heck of a hole to climb out of. Naturally, the family will try to continue milking their cash cow, even post-mortem.

I think the attachment pages just give the particulars on everyone mentioned in the body of the will, be they executors, legatees, specifically omitted persons or whatever.

I'm not familiar with California probate forms, but that "omitted to provide for" language sure seems clumsy.

It seems odd, too, that the co-executors signed the will as witnesses. Again, perhaps it is a local convention - but usually anyone with an interest in the estate (and executors are often entitled to a fee) is not a good choice as a witness.

Surrogacy laws protect all parties as long as specific steps are followed. We assume that Jacko isn’t so whacko he didn’t follow them all.

In today’s world there need be no biological relationship at all to establish parenthood.

So long as they are not actually beneficiaries, the executors make the BEST witnesses because it means they understand the intent of the party. The executors should get the same compensation no matter who the beneficiaries are.

“...will names Supremes singing legend Diana Ross as his children's potential guardian...”

Some day they'll be together.
