LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson’s father does not stand to inherit any of his son’s assets and cannot challenge the appointment of the executors chosen by the singer to handle his will, a judge said Tuesday.
Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff said Joe Jackson was not named in the will but could pursue a motion to receive a family allowance from the estate because he claimed his son had been supporting him.
Joe Jackson and his son had an often-strained relationship.
In another development, the court released an accounting that the estate had paid nearly $1 million in expenses for the private family funeral held at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
“I would have done it less expensively. But it was Michael Jackson . . .” said Howard Weitzman, an attorney for the estate administrators.
Also Tuesday, Michael Jackson’s mother withdrew her objections to the appointment of two longtime Jackson associates as executors of his will.
