JOE JACKSON SEEKS A FAMILY ALLOWANCE FROM MICHAEL JACKSON'S ESTATE

Joe Jackson does not stand to inherit any of his son's assets and cannot challenge the appointment of the executors chosen by the singer to handle his will, according to the judge.

Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff said Joe Jackson was not named in the will but he could pursue a motion to receive a family allowance because he claimed Michael supported him.

His expenses exceed $15,000 a month, according to court documents. The 2002 will of Michael Jackson omitted any mention of his father. The court documents said Joe Jackson receives $1,700 monthly from Social Security, and he relied on his son for support for many years.

The documents stated, "He does not have a regular source of income, and he was dependent upon the money provided by his son, Michael Jackson, through his wife, Katherine Jackson, for his support.

The judge has scheduled a hearing for December 10 on Joe Jackson's request for the family allowance. Katherine Jackson's new probate attorney Adam Streisand suggested that she would support that request.
