UPDATES: Michael Jackson’s Children/Burial/Estate
In the days after Michael Jackson’s untimely death, an array of things have been revealed and some questions have been answered.
Who will have control of the estate? Janet Jackson has been appointed the executor of her brother, Michael Jackson’s estate.
What will happen to Neverland? Word is a real estate developer has told the New York Post, “Neverland” will become the “Graceland” of California. *He could have waited until Michael was buried*
Rumor: According to Billboard.com, Michael Jackson’s family and advisors are discussing the possibility of burying him at Neverland Ranch in Los Olivos, California.

Sources tell me that the proposal came from Tohme Tohme, Jackson’s former manager, the non-doctor and special ambassador to Senegal. Tohme works with Colony Capital LLC, the firm that holds the mortgage note on Neverland. Their idea is to turn Neverland into Graceland, with Jackson’s grave the central attraction.
This isn’t so easy. For one thing, as lawyers have pointed out, you can’t simply bury someone in your backyard. Permits are required. For another, the town of Los Olivos was sounded out about a “Graceland” idea a long time ago and rejected it. Neverland is on a two-lane country road across from a school way in the hills along the Santa Ynez Valley. The locals feel it’s not equipped for that kind of traffic. But the Graceland plan is being pushed by Colony and Tohme, as Tohme agitates for it within a split and confused family. Much discussion is going on right now, especially among Michael’s brothers, about ways to maximize his estate — in other words make money. “Michael would be mortified to know this,” one of his business associates said to me today. |
Will there be custody battle? Michael Jackson’s ex-wife, Debbie Rowe who is also the mother of his two eldest children, Michael “Prince” Joseph, 12 and Paris Michael Katherine, 11 is not going to fight for custody. Instead she negotiate more visitation with the children. And as for the third child, Prince Michael II, 7, he was born to a surrogate mother, very is little is known at this point about her.
More news to come, I will keep you posted.
