LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Michael Jackson's will, reportedly drafted in 2002, is said to divide his assets between his mother, three children and one or more charities.

According to The Wall Street Journal, several sources close with the pop star said a lawyer for Jackson could submit the will - which is thought to be his last - to Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday.

The star's mother, Katherine Jackson, who was granted temporary guardianship of Jackson's three children on Monday, along with husband Joe Jackson, initially said they believed their son died without a valid will.

"No will has been presented to family or us," L. Londell McMillan, a lawyer for Jackson's parents who also once represented the singer, said in an e-mail to the paper. "We will review any will when we see it."

Later on Tuesday, McMillan told the Associated Press the Jackson family was now aware of a will that would soon be presented in court. He also noted that Jackson's advisers were currently looking for additional documents.

Joe Jackson - who has been very vocal since his son's passing - has reportedly been left out of the 2002 will.

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.

The will reportedly names lawyer John Branca and music executive John McClain as executors. Branca was Jackson's primary lawyer from 1980 to 2006, and claims he wrote the 2002 will. Before his sudden death last week, the Branca claims the singer rehired him.

The King of Pop is said to have amassed approximately $500 million in debt, but that his assets could reportedly outweigh that by more than $200 million.

The most valuable part of the Jackson estate could be the singer's 50 percent stake in the Sony/ATV Music Publishing catalog, which the singer owned half of. The massive 750,000-song music catalog includes the work of the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, Lady Gaga and the Jonas Brothers. The catalog is reportedly estimated to be worth upwards of $2 billion.

He lived his life like we was dead. He was always in hiding and when he decided to come out he would hide his face. To me he died years ago....

He absolutely did not lived his life like he was dead. Come on now. And the reason why he was always hiding his face including carrying umbrellas even thoughit wasn't raining was because of his skin disorder Vitiligo.

People with this disease have their skin pigmentation turn white and are usually allergic to the sun. That's why you always see him with hats, sunglasses,long hair, anything and everything to protect his skin from direct sunlight. So you can either research the disease or you can go with what the media isspewing which was MJ bleaching his skin to become a white man.

I haven't seen any formal numbers, but if you go to itunes, virtually everyone of the top selling songs and albums are MJ's. Crazy.

One thing I've realized since MJ passed is that, for a guy that was widely portrayed as a recluse, MJ sure had a lot of friends. Like, who know he wasshooting down to Miami to hang out with Brett Ratner?

 

[pr0phecy718]

BTW, has Macaulay Culkin ever said anything?

 

[youngcfromthad]

lol...that video of him bouncing to R.Kelly is classic.
