Michael Jackson's will cuts out ex-wife

July 01, 2009 Michael Jackson's 7-year-old will was filed Wednesday in a Los Angeles court, giving his entire estate to a family trust but cutting out his former wife Debbie Rowe. The documents said Jackson's estate consisted almost entirely of "non-cash, non-liquid assets, including primarily an interest in a catalog of music royalty rights which is currently being administered by Sony ATV, and the interests of various entities." An appeals court later found that was done in error, and Rowe and Jackson entered an out-of-court settlement in 2006.
