Michael Jacksons Kids doing well

Michael Jackson’s three children seem to be adjusting well to being raised by their grandmother, a judge said.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff said he was “very pleased” with the contents of a probate investigator’s report describing how the children were adjusting three months after their father’s death.

“It looks like the children are really doing wonderfully with their grandmother guardian,” Judge Beckloff said in brief comments on the report during a hearing.

Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and Prince II, seven, have been in Katherine Jackson’s care since their father died on June 25. Judge Beckloff appointed Mrs Jackson as the children’s permanent guardian in August and asked for an update on their conditions.

In his 2002 will, Michael Jackson designated his mother as his choice to care for his children if he died

Judge Beckloff sealed the report on the children and said he saw no need for future updates.

Jackson’s estate is paying a 60,000 dollars (£37,500) a month to care for and protect the youngsters.

Judge Beckloff also increased the powers of two men currently administering Michael Jackson’s estate, a move made in part because of the 50-year-old singer’s substantial debts.

He gave lawyer John Branca and music executive John McClain general powers over Jackson’s estate, which allow them to consider creditors’ claims. They can also enter into business deals that are not opposed by Katherine Jackson without Judge Beckloff’s approval and can begin to represent the estate in several court cases pending against the singer when he died.

The judge made that ruling over the objections of Mrs Jackson’s lawyer.
