Jackos exclusion of father from will is not snub, says Jermaine Jackson
Washington, Jul 4 : Late King of Pop Michael Jacksons exclusion of his father from his will has not been seen as a snub by the singers brother Jermaine, who insists Joe will also benefit from the estate.
Jacko had drawn up a will in 2002 in which he left his entire estate to a family trust, comprising of his mother Katherine and his three children.
There was no mention his father, who Jackson claimed had physically abused him and his siblings as a child.
Joes exclusion doesnt bother me, because if my mothers mentioned, my fathers fine, Contactmusic quoted Jermaine as saying.
I mean, if my mothers fine, were all fine. But most important, its not about money. Its not about property. Were a family. We dont let that get in the way. Thats not important to us. Thats not important, he added.
Joe and Katherine Jackson wed in 1949 but have been separated for years. However, they never filed for divorce.
Joe lives in Las Vegas, while Katherine resides in the family compound in Encino, California.
