Joe Jackson is jumping on the Michael Jackson money bandwagon, becoming the latest in a line of many to file a claim against his late son’s estate.
Joe filed papers Friday with the LA County Superior court asking the judge to grant him a monthly allowance.

In the documents Michael Jackson’s former manager, Leonard Rowe, claims Michael used to grant his mother Katherine $60,000 per month to live on and that she was instructed to give Joe half of that.

Joe claims the estate has netted more than $100 million in the first seven weeks following his son’s death and that it is”well able to afford a family allowance for Joe Jackson”.
Howard Weitzman, one of the attorneys for John Branca and John McClain the Special Administrators for Michael Jackson's Estate in response to Joe Jackson's request for an allowance stated, "The Special Administrators have been made aware that Joe Jackson filed papers asking to be paid a family allowance from the Estate. It was quite surprising to learn of the request. Mr. Jackson's petition will be considered as are all requests for money from Michael's Estate."

MICHAEL NEVER HELPED HIM BEFORE HE DIED SO WHY WOULD A JUDGE GIVE HIM A DIME. I DONT SEE THAT HE WILL GET ANYTHING.

I'm not sure I completely understand - doesn't he live with Katherine? She is getting some huge monthly allowance for having a nanny take care of the children and it isn't enough? Poor Michael everyone had a hand out.

I hope common sense prevails... Michael didn't give him anything in life I hope his estate doesn't have to in death but the said thing is he will just go after Katharine to get what he wants.

Joe wanted to be part of Michael's "This is It" but Michael left Joe out of the contract and Joe has been blaming Michael's producers and managers for Michael's death so Joe could take control. Now Joe wants money from the estate.

Michael was supporting Katherine before his death and Joe would bully Katherine and get his share. Joe cannot bully Katherine anymore because of the will. Joe was left out and deserves to be. Joe abused Michael for years.

Katherine gets funds because Michael left her with his children to care for. Joe HAD to sign he would not be a part of raising Michael's kids. Debra Rowe made sure of that before she would not contest custody.

How has he been living up until now? Did Michael give him an allowance? I seriously doubt it.
