Michael Jackson’s will, which was filed in July of 2002, stipulates that singer Diana Ross should be appointed guardianship of his children in the event that Michael’s mother, Katherine Jackson, is unable or unwilling to serve as the primary guardian.  The will also states the following :

-All of Michael’s assets should be placed in a family trust.

- The beneficiaries of the Michael Jackson Family Trust are his three children Prince Michael I, 12, Paris Michael Katherine, 11 and Prince Michael II, 7, and mother Katherine.

-Six other relatives, three of which are the sons of  his brother Tito Jackson, are named as “contingent remainder beneficiaries”. “Contingent beneficiaries”  would share the estate in the event that Jackson’s principal beneficiaries died( click Here to see the list of “contingent beneficiaries”).

- Deborah Rowe, Michael’s ex-wife and the mother of two of his children, gets nothing.

It is believed that Michael’s estate “exceeds $500 million” and consists of “non-cash, non-liquid assets,” including Jackson’s share of lucrative music royalty rights.

    well that makes since she is the mother of one of his kids evan ross im sure he wanted all his kids to be together

  • jannieboo66 says:

    I don’t blame Michael, I wouldn’t leave my children to my dsyfunctional family either, nor my money. Now I see why peeps r tripping off of his father, fool talking about record productions and his son is dead.

    • Cee-lo says:

      How do you know Diana Ross’ family is not dysfunctional? The only viable person that should receive custody of the children is the nanny. Because I can’t see how two parents could give their parental rights away to Michael Jackson for their kids. So far, I’ve read that a male dermatologist and female dermatologist are the actual parents of Michael’s first two children. It’s so Weird! But this must be a weird world since many of these famous white people feel that they have to adopt an African(Many Africans don’t consider themselves Black) child……For what reason, I do not Know?

  • Suitepuma says:

    I wonder what their relationship was like before his death…

    And Im glad that he still had a good relationship with 3T… Man I loved those boys!

    Interesting that he trusted his nephews and not his siblings with his assets… things that make you go hmmm

  • krix says:

    Although Diana seems to have raised her daughters pretty well (I don’t know much about her sons) I am still surprised that Janet was not named as a secondary guardian to his children in the event that his mother could not care for them.

    • Teri says:

      Hey Krix,

      I wonder if maybe Janet didn’t want the responsibility of taking care of three kids. I can’t imagine all of a sudden becoming a mother of three children, but then again, I would take my sibling’s children in a heartbeat if I had to.

  • Big Blue says:

    The children are almost family to Diana Ross. Diana Ross’s oldest daughter Rhonda and Jermaine Jackson’s ex wife Hazel are sisters.

  • Zale says:

    yea him and janet was so close. im about to call up on nancy grace because they keep bringin up mrs kates age and talking about diana few years ago pull over. she got pulled over by the police and they keep replaying the video. what about the video of these kids mother saying

    “I dont want my kids. i dont allow them to call me mother”

    and the fact that she exchanged her kids over to him for millions?

    they just ignoring that fact. its like they dont want the kids being raised in a all black family thats what it is.

    R.I.P Micheal!!
    LoOov3 U…

  • Suitepuma says:

    WHOA! I Just found out that Michael was IN LOVE with Diana! This is an exert from his autobiography “Moonwalk”…

    “We still talk now and then, and I guess you’d have to say she was my first love - after Diana. When I heard Diana Ross was getting married, I was happy for her because I knew it would make her very joyous. Still, it was hard for me, because I had to walk around pretending to be overwhelmed that Diana was getting married to this man I’d never met. I wanted her to be happy, but I have to admit that I was a bit hurt and a little jealous because I’ve always loved Diana and always will.”

    WOW, I’m shocked!

    I always thought there relationship was mother-son like! I didn’t know he care for her like that! Whoa that’s kinda weird… sweet but weird.

    Makes alot of sense tho, looking at videos of them on youtube makes it more clear to me now.

    Makes sense that he would trust her with his children too!

  • krazychika says:

    i know michael loved her alot

  • jj says:

    when he talks about his first love he’s talking about she took his virginity trust me Evan is his … it will come out just like it came out about her having a child with berry Gordy… true she was married to that white man but hes not Evan’s father

  • Tiana says:

    I agree with you Suitepuma.This might sound crazy but I always thought Mike and Diana had a romantic relationship. He seemed to love her and I think she broke his heart and he could never love another woman after that. If you watch some of his youtube clips/interviews you will see that he’s so sprung for her.

  • Aimee says:

    First off all Dirty Diana is about Groupies google the words…
    Secondly Evan ross is not michael child clearly the boy is biracial…you guys need to google a picture of muchael when he was 10-11 years old this was before the surgeries because evein the picture posted above mike had already had his first nose job

  • Erica L. Crump says:

    I agree also! I have been saying for YEARS that Evan is Michael & Diana’s lovechild but my family thinks I’m crazy for thinking that.
    But trust me, in due time that skeleton is going to come tumbling out of the closet.
    Evan looks JUST like his first cousins (Tito’s sons). They were in that group a long time ago called 3T. Michael never got over losing Diana to not one but TWO husbands, and the only way that he could get over his pain was to rip open his shirt on stage and belt out “DIRTY DIANA! OWW!”

    • Caratime2 says:

      Have you noticed Michael’s (original) and Diana’s skin colors?!?!? Tito’s sons are biracial; any so-called ‘love child’ between Jackson and Ross would be just round-the-way [word omitted].

      Look at a picture of her Scandinavian husband’s other biracial children and compare them to Diana’s two boys…

      *smh* some people got too much time on their hands…

  • Kiki says:

    Aimee, these people are just flapping off, they know Evan is biracial.

  • Nappykat says:

    Yall need to get a clue and ASK SOMEBODY!!!

    Here’s da real -

    Evan Ross really is Michael Jackson’s. And yes, he is biracial.

    But Diana is not the real mother… she a surrogate!

    The real mother is… drum roll please…..

    TATUM O’NEAL!!

    ‘Dirty Diana’ really is about Diana Ross (like he’d say that in public.. puhlease!) Diana was the one who ‘made Michael a man’ if you know what I mean. But in Michael Jackson’s childlike mind, sex was dirty and he was like ‘Oh Diana, that is sooo dirty! We are never doing that again!’ - hence the song ‘Dirty Diana.’

    After Diana turned him out, he fell for Tatum but he was still in childlike love with Diana. By this time, MJ had a having a hard time accepting his blackness and the vitiligo was getting the best of him, but he wanted to share something more substantial with Diana. So Tatum offered some eggs, MJ offered some sperm, and Diana surrogated.

    And THEN guess what happened?

    Shortly after Diana got surrogated, girlfriend got busy and really did get preggers by a white guy! Ever heard of twins having two different fathers? - Ofcourse you have! You heard it on Maury! Well Evan and his twin brother have a different father and mother! Evan’s bio mother is Tatum O’Neal and his bio daddy is MJ. His twin brother’s bio momma and daddy are Diana and that white millionaire.

    You heard it from me first - and I’m a very credible source.
    So credible I gotta be a secret.

    Black Love, Peace, and Nappiness!

  • Nappykat says:

    Oh yeah, Micheal Jackson and Diana Ross are related. She a cousin somewhere on his mother’s side.

    Shhhhhh.

    Don’t tell nobody.

  • Kiki says:

    Lol, that’s some theory NappyKat! Tatum says she never even kissed Michael and didn’t consider him a boyfriend.

  • Lydia says:

    I stil think Michael is the biological father. there are so many lies written about him you just don’t know what to believe. I think that Prince and Blanket look like Michael, very much so. Paris looks more like Debbie but She has the jackson’s big ears. Here ill show you.

  • Luvv says:

    Michael is not Evan’s father! Michael and Diana may have had an affair oe something like that but he never had kids with her. They were really really close like brother and sister,thats all.

  • Luvv says:

    Michael and Diana had no kids together! Evan’s father is white. Michael and Diana may have had an affair or something like that but no kids! Plus who did you think that song ‘Dirty Diana’ was for?

  • KEEYSHA.J says:

    MICHAEL LOOK SO HANDSOME IN THAT PIC R.I.P BABY ;(

  • Nikki says:

    LMAO see, this is how rumors get started. He named her in his will and suddenly Diana’s son is MJ’s love child??? That’s why his life was the way it was, cause people speculate on everything he said, did, etc. I do think he loved Diana and on Oprah he admitted he had a crush on her, but I def. don’t think they have a “love child”. But I’m getting a kick outta reading some of these wild theories lmao.

    RIP MJ

  • IF MJ HAD FALLEN IN LOVE WITH DIANA ROSS, IT WAS HIS OWN RISK BECAUSE I BELIEVE IF THIS OCCURRED WHEN HE WAS NAIVE, THEN HIS FATHER SHOULD HAVE WARNED HIM ABOUT FALLING IN LOVE WITH AN OLDER WOMAN. IF IT HAPPENED WHEN HE WAS OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER THEN THAT IS HOW THE COOKIE CRUMBLES. YOU WIN SOME AND YOU LOSE SOME. IT SOUNDS LIKE ALL OF YOU COMMENTERS ARE JUST CHATTING BECAUSE I BELIEVE NOTHING ANY OF YOU HAVE STATED. WASTE OF TYPING IF U ASK ME. I ALSO NEVER BELIEVED MJ HAD VITILIGO. I BELIEVE HE DID NOT TELL ALOT OF TRUTH ABOUT HIS CONDITION. INSTEAD OF HIM TELLING THE PUBLIC OR NEWS FOLKS, NON OF YOUR BUSINESS, WHEN ASKED ABOUT HIS BUSINESS, HE JUST RESORTED TO SAYING ANYTHING. I DO NOT THINK HE ADMIRED BEING IN THE SPOTLIGHT OR PUBLIC VIEW ALL OF THE TIME OR AT ALL. IF IT IS THAT AWFUL TO HAVE FORTUNE AND FAME, I AM SATISFIED TO BE A COMMONER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
