Howard Weitzman, lawyer for Branca and McClain:<\/p>\n

Any doubts about the validity of Michael’s will and selection of executors were thoroughly debunked two years ago when a challenge [by Michael’s siblings] was rejected by the Los Angeles Superior Court, California Court of Appeals and the California Supreme Court.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

DailyMail<\/a>: Royal Oakes believes Branca and McClain will see off the challenge:<\/p>\n

The judge will always decide what is in the children\u2019s best interests. The judge will also talk to the children to ensure that they have their say about who they want in charge of their welfare. There is a slim-to-none chance of Michael Jackson\u2019s will being overturned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And it is all over the oldest thing in the book \u2013 money.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
