Joe Jackson Looking To Oust Michael's Estate Executors

Pretty wild conspiracy theory there, pops...

According to legal papers just filed by Joe Jackson, Michael Jackson never signed his will and the named executors - John Branca and John McClain - have committed fraud.

Originally, there was a clerical error in the will as the document indicates Jackson signed the will in Los Angeles, yet he was in New York on the day in question. The will was in fact signed in New York and the witnesses saw Michael put pen to paper.

However, Joe claims his son never signed the will and that Brance and McClain should be booted for "fraud."

Joe Jackson and his lawyer, Brian Oxman, claim Jackson fired Branca in 2003 and believed that Branca and Tommy Mottola were "illegally funneling Michael Jackson's money to off-shore accounts in the Caribbean."

Howard Weitzman, the lawyer for Branca and McClain, tells TMZ, "These claims filed by Joe Jackson are so outrageous that they don't deserve any response. John Branca and John McClain, who were designated by Michael Jackson in his will as executors of his estate, will continue carrying out Michael's wishes for the benefit of his mother, his children and charities."
