The judge indicated that Joe had no legal standing in his claim, clearing the way to to formally appoint John Branca and John McClain co-executors of Jackson's estate.
During yesterday's hearing, however, Joe Jackson's lawyer, Brian Oxman, made it clear to the judge that if Joe doesn't get an allowance like mother, Katherine, has then he'll file a creditor's claim against his son's estate.
Oxman said he thinks Katherine has "struck a deal with the estate" rather than staying committed to challenging the will. Branca's lawyer, Howard Weitzman, denied the allegation.
Oxman said if Joe doesn't get the allowance he's after, Michael would have breached a contract he had with daddy and that's why he'd then file a creditor's claim. Oxman didn't elaborate on what kind of contract Michael made with Joe.
Katherine Jackson's lawyer said Katherine doesn't object to Joe getting an allowance, but was quick to add that Joe has no legal standing to appear in probate court.
