杰克遜遺囑第五頁
邁克爾-杰克遜七年前訂立的遺囑美國當地時間1日正式呈送洛杉磯高等法院備案。遺囑聲明全部財產交付信托基金，他的母親凱瑟琳-杰克遜獲得三個子女的監護權，而前妻黛博拉·羅則一無所獲。這份遺囑共分五頁，由邁克爾·杰克遜于2002年7月7日訂立，邁克爾指定他的律師布蘭卡、音樂制作人麥克蘭和會計師西格爾為遺囑執行人。
邁克爾在遺囑中聲明，他的全部財產(當時估計超過五億美元)交付“邁克爾·杰克遜家庭信托基金”，并指定他的母親凱瑟琳·杰克遜和三名子女為遺產受益人。在子女監護權方面，邁克爾指定母親凱瑟琳-杰克遜為三名未成年子女的監護人，如果凱瑟琳去世或不愿承擔監護權，則由黛安娜-羅斯(美國黑人女歌手)擔任子女監護人。
