Katherine Jackson has formally filed a petition with the court to be appointed as administrator of her son Michael Jackson's estate. She is petitioning under the Independent Administrations Estate Act.

Court papers surfaced Wednesday and were filed in the matter by both Katherine and Joe Jackson, but only Katherine is requesting to be placed in charge of Michael Jackson's estate.

A hearing is set for August 3rd, to determine who will be executor of the estate. Michael appointed John Branca and John McClain as executors in his 2002 will. They have also been named administrators over a previous court challenge by Katherine.

Michael's will has a "no contest" charge, meaning anyone who contests it automatically gets cut out.

On July 17, Katherine filed court papers seeking a determination if she could contest various provisions of Michael's trust without triggering the "no contest" clause.

Despite those papers, her lawyer Londell McMillan issued a statement on July 20 saying that Katherine was not challenging the will.

But it is clear that Katherine is still trying to get control of the estate, one way or another, without triggering the "no contest" clause in Michael's trust.

I wish Diana Ross had those kids. This woman is pathetic. She would only let them get beat by Joe too. That's all she knows how to do...let he children get beat.

This woman is something else. I dont think she should have gotten the children because she did not even protect her kids from their evil father Joe. I bet he is behind most of this greedy behavior.

A stupid and WRONG move by Katherine who is being controlled by Joe. They will waste money they do not have and tie up Michael's estate until they both are dead. SHAME ON Katherine, JOE,and their ATTORNEY. SAVE THE POOR CHILDREN!!!!

Jackson was weird? He and Janet are probably the most rational in the whole family! Joe is the biggest creep! Hope no-contest charge wil prevent him from getting control over the money. Anybody knows why Jackson fired Branca some years ago?

Michael loved his mother but knew she's too STUPID to be in charge.She still has Joe,the abuser,around. She went bankrupt for millions. She challenged the will, so she's OUT. No $ & kids to nanny.

I think she needs to accept what he left her & leave all that other mess alone he obviously didnt want her to be in charge of his estate shouldnt she be grieving for her son that just passed instead of trying to take everything over greedy people

Katherine's only financial experience is declaring bankrupcy to the tune of 24 million. She and her greedy relatives will bankrupt Michael's estate as well.
