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.

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.
