Michael Jackson Estate | Katherine Jackson Named Guardian by Judge

In the continuing news of the Estate of Michal Jackson, NPR.org is reporting that the probate judge has appointed Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson, as guardian of his children.

As we saw in Michael Jackson’s Last Will and Testament, this was his wishes since he named her as guardian in the document. Per NPR, Mrs. Jackson was the only person to petition the probate court for formal custody of the children. Additionally, there seems to be a custody agreement between Katherine Jackson and Michael Jackson’s ex-wife, Deborah Rowe.
