Lawyers For Jackson's Mom Seek Info From Executors

LOS ANGELES – The legal team for Michael Jackson's mother has asked a judge for the power to press the special administrators of her son's estate for more information.

Lawyers for Katherine Jackson on Tuesday requested the authority to move ahead and subpoena attorney John Branca and former music executive John McClain. They want to interview the men, who were named in Jackson's will as executors, and dig through their records.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff put off dealing with their request until Monday, when the judge will consider a wide range of matters. They include whether the special administrators will continue their roles, and whether an allowance will be granted to Katherine and Jackson's three children.

Tuesday's filing was meant to expedite the process of obtaining "important personal, business and legal information and documents relating to Michael Jackson" including his deal with concert promoter AEG, according to a written statement from L. Londell McMillan, who is part of Katherine Jackson's legal team.

They're also seeking "life insurance policies, settlements and disputes as well as agreements between the temporary special administrators and Michael Jackson (and others)."

McMillan said they'd requested some of the documents before and had hoped to see them before the Aug. 3 hearing.
