Michael Jackson’s ex left out of his will

The will, dated July 7, 2002, estimated his estate at that time at more than £300m.

The documents said Jackson’s estate consisted almost entirely of “non-cash, non-liquid assets, including primarily an interest in a catalogue of music royalty rights which is currently being administered by Sony ATV, and the interests of various entities,” referring to The Beatles’ song rights he co-owned.

Meanwhile a Jackson source told the Associated Press news agency that no public memorial was planned for Neverland on Friday, contradicting earlier reports. The source said it appeared more likely a funeral and burial will take place in Los Angeles. The family has the final say.
