Yes, it will probably be his estate for a while.

If I would guess, he didn't have a will, and there is going to be an extended legal battle over the children as to who gains custody over them, and power over his estate until they turn 18, think Anna Nichole Smith. Rather, I would be suprised if he had a will

Anyway, BET has been running an MJ marathon for a little while now.

Can I ask why you think he probably doesn't have a will? I assumed he would. He might have been crazy, but he must have sane lawyers, right?

I for one am very sad to hear of this news.

He was The King of Pop and I've loved him from the get go. He will be missed.

Was talking about it with my neigbor and it just seemed to fit the family. At the very least a will that is obscure enough to be legally questionable. His father will sue, the lawyers will sue, and so will every Tom Dick and Harry who has any connection to him, including the nurse who birthed his kids.

I also don't think that he lived in the world of normal for a long time. Any legal advice he recieved was questionable at best, probably to keep him happy and to keep his "people" employed. He has lived in a fantasy world for a long time and reality is not something that he knew too much of.

While I will acknowledge that he made an amazing contribution to music, I will also state and don't care if its popular to say this or not, that what he contributed to music is not half as important as the fact that he was a pedophile. And the fact that he dangled his baby from a balcony. And the fact that he used his friendship with Paul McCartney to get the rights to the Beatles catalog KNOWING that Paul had planned to get the rights himself when he was finally able to.

I have empathy for the life he was "forced" to lead as a child/adolescent. I have no empathy for his not making better choices thereafter. NO ADULT IN THEIR RIGHT MIND says the LOVE sleeping with kids. Even if it means sleeping. I love kids, but I tell ya what, sleeping with them, even my own, is a PITA. They hog the bed, they kick and elbow, they (some anyway) wet the bed, they get cranky 'cause they are over-tired and don't want to fall asleep. Yeah, that's fun. NOT!

And no, I wasn't there when he molested children, but, give me a fucking break. One does NOT settle two accusations of molestation with large sums of money, if one did nothing wrong. That's just shit.

Just my 2 cents. So its sad for his kids to not have a healthy daddy in their lives as they grow up, but they never really did. I firmly believe they will stand a better chance at "normal" without him than they did with him.

agreed, anything he did as a musician was ruined by what he did afterwards.
