Katherine Jackson was blindsided by news a letter had been written by several of her children to the executors of Michael Jackson's estate, demanding their resignation, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
As we previously reported, several media outlets obtained a letter allegedly from Janet, Rebie, Tito, Randy, and Jermaine Jackson demanding that the Jackson Estate executors John Branca and John McClain resign immediately because they (the Jackson siblings) believe that the late singer's will was a fake. This comes after three failed legal challenges in the matter already. The letter also alleged that Katherine Jackson was in bad health and had recently suffered a mini-stroke. Katherine's lawyer told CNN she is in good health and did not suffer a mini-stroke.
Katherine "had absolutely NO idea that her children had written to the executors of Michael's estate. Katherine was extremely upset because this isn't something that she would ever authorize or support, period. Katherine has no issues with the executors, and she is satisfied with the work that John Branca and John McClain are doing. Katherine is extremely upset with her children for writing the letter, and is extremely disappointed that the letter was made public," a source close to the matriarch of the Jackson family tells us.
On Wednesday, Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris, put her aunts and uncles on notice and said on Twitter that she will, "defend my beloved family member with all I have, even if it means from other family members. I am going to clarify right now that what has been said about my grandmother is a rumor and nothing has happened, she is completely fine. I will defend my beloved family member with all I have, even if it means from other family members."
According to our sources, the letter was written because "the wrongful death lawsuit that Katherine Jackson was pressured into filing against AEG for the wrongful death of Michael is turning into a disaster. Katherine has been deposed, and it was a grueling process, and it's very taxing on her. The Jackson siblings wrote this letter, even though there have been three failed challenges of the will, and the statute of limitations to contest the will has expired to try and get money from Michael's estate. Make no mistake, this is all about money.
There is a very good reason why Michael intentionally left his siblings and his father out of the will. Michael's will was very clear, and the beneficiaries are his three children and Katherine. Period. End of story. The Jackson siblings have no legal recourse as far as the will is considered and the person responsible for Michael's death is behind bars, Dr. Conrad Murray," the insider revealed.
At the time of Michael Jackson's death he was over $500 million dollars in debt. Recent court documents filed by the executors state that the estate has a gross earnings of $475 million dollars, and the outstanding debt will soon be whittled down to nothing in the very near future. "Michael Jackson's legacy and the financial legacy has been single-handedly resurrected by John Branca and John McClain, and the lucrative deals they have made for the estate. Many people said that Michael was naive when it came to business, yes, he spent money he didn't have, but the smartest thing he ever did, besides buying the Beatle's record catalogue, was to appoint John Branca and John McClain as the executors. Michael trusted those two men and respected them as human beings. He knew they would always do the right thing, and they have. They have carried out his wishes to the letter,' the source said.
Katherine has requested "increases in her monthly allowance for expenses, and the Estate has never opposed that, and it has always been granted. The only thing Katherine's children are doing now is causing her more stress than she needs. Katherine has an excellent lawyer who looks out for her best interests," the insider stated.
Whenever the executors are about to sign a new contract on behalf of the estate, "the lawyers submit it to the judge for his review. Almost all of the deals are approved by the judge, even though the Estate often isn't required to get approval. There has been absolute transparency in all of the business deals that the executors have made, as well as the debts that have been paid off," the source said.

Do the children (PPB) still have a "guardian ad litem"? It certainly seems as though it would be in their best interest to have one at a time when their own extended family members appear to be attempting to sway their grandmother's opinion. I am concerned that there is an objective third party who is legally able to defend the children's interest while all of this is taking place--
YES-KIDS STILL HAVE GUARDIAN AD LITEM
Since the Will was deemed valid... Is there anyway the other family members, not mentioned in the will, can get the executors to step down? and do these family members have any legal rights at all???

NOTHING FAMILY CAN DO TO ASK EXECUTORS TO STEP DOWN & THE JOHN'S WOULDN'T DO ANYWAY. FAMILY HAS NO LEGAL RECOURSE AS FAR AS MAKING ANY CLAIMS OF MJ'S ESTATE.
What makes the "family" think that the will is unvalide? Because Michael didn't leave them any money? I can see Michael feeling that his sibs are all adults and need to support themselves.

MJ'S SIBLINGS LETTER THIS WEEK TO EXECUTORS IS ALL ABOUT $$$ SADLY.
do we know who was the author of that letter-
do we know who was the author of that letter-
NOT DEFINITIVELY. I'M TOLD THIS IS BEING DRIVEN MAINLY BY JERMAINE & RANDY.
I am curious as to the legality of the letter that was leaked to the media from the member of the family involved since it appeared poorly constructed and was full of errors etc.

EXCELLENT QUESTION--LETTER HAS NO LEGAL STANDING WHATSOEVER.

APPEARS LIKELY SINCE JANET, RANDY, JERMAINE TWEETED IT WAS AUTHENTIC. ETC.
do you have a copy of the document?
do you have a copy of the document?
NO, BUT HAVE READ IT ONLINE FROM THE SEVERAL DIFFERENT MEDIA OUTLETS THAT PUBLISHED IT.
What is behind the timing of this letter, was the Estate notified before it was sent to the media?

NO, NOR WAS THE ESTATE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND BEFORE PUBLISHED. SOURCES CLOSE TO EXECUTORS WERE BAFFLED BY THE TIMING & THE CONTENTS OF THE LETTER.
.do you know why Katherine was taken to AZ?
.do you know why Katherine was taken to AZ?
TO GET HER OUT OF TOWN WHEN THIS LETTER WAS "LEAKED" TO THE MEDIA
WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY IN THE MEDIA TO FULLY VET A STORY BEFORE GOING WITH IT. THAT LETTER CONTAINED NO NEW INFORMATION, AND HAS NO LEGAL STANDING. ALL IT DID WAS UPSET MJ'S CHILDREN, AND CAUSE MORE STRESS TO THOSE CHILDREN. IF YOU ARE GOING TO PUBLISH THAT LETTER, YOU NEED TO AT LEAST BE FAIR AND GET RESPONSE FROM ESTATE.
Where are you getting your info from?

SOURCES VERY CLOSE TO THE SITUATION.
Considering Paris's involvement yesterday, has she been able to talk to Katherine?

NO, NOT YET. MRS. J IS STILL OUT OF TOWN AT THE SPA.
Who is with the kids? THEIR NANNY
Do you think this is part of a larger plan to get Katherine deemed unfit being their guardian, so they can get access to the money via guardianship? and if so what is that likelihood?

YES. BUT THE ESTATE WOULD ABSOLUTELY OPPOSE THE MRS J'S CHILDREN BEING GIVEN CONSVERATORSHIP OF HER BUSINESS & FINANCIAL AFFAIRS. THEY WOULD WANT AN INDEPENDENT PERSON APPOINTED, BUT THAT ISN'T IN PLAY NOW AS SHE IS IN GOOD HEALTH (FOR SOMEONE HER AGE)
It was reported Janet was with Katherine, pics have surfaced from Italy with her vacationing with her boyfriend..do we know is Katherine alone?

NO, NOT ALONE. REBY IS MOST LIKELY WITH HER.
does the Estate have any recourse to the continued harassment by the Jackson's?
does the Estate have any recourse to the continued harassment by the Jackson's?
YES THAT IS ALL I CAN SAY AT THIS POINT.
LET ME ALSO SAY THIS -- THE LETTERS THE MJ FANS HAVE WRITTEN IN SUPPORT OF THE EXECUTORS & AGAINST THE SIBLINGS HAVE BEEN READ BY THEM. THEY ARE VERY, VERY APPRECIATIVE OF IT.
THE EXECUTORS ARE COMMITTED TO HONORING MJ'S WISHES, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CHILDREN & MRS. J.
Has the Estate has seen the letter written by MJJC?

What do you think the next step will be for all parties involved?

GOOD QUESTION, YOU CAN NEVER PREDICT WHAT THE JACKSON FAMILY WILL DO/SAY/CLAIM - I'M REFERRING TO MJ'S SIBLINGS.
Any idea where Michael's siblings would be able to come up with the sort of funds necessary to fight the estate?

EVEN IF THEY HAD THE MONEY, THERE IS NO FIGHT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T CONTEST BECAUSE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS TO DO SO HAS PASSED.
Do you think we'll see a statement from Katherine about the letter by her kids?
Do you think we'll see a statement from Katherine about the letter by her kids?
I SINCERELY DOUBT IT AS SHE LOATHES HAVING THIS DRAMA PLAY OUT IN THE PRESS.
