It was clear from Michael's will that he wanted Mr. Branca and Mr. McClain to be the executors. The judge took the first step by appointing them special administrators. It's our obligation, our duty, our responsibility and our desire to do everything we can to carry out Michael Jackson's wishes, maximizing the assets of his estate and allowing his fans to continue enjoying the great legacy that he brought to all of us.\"\u003cbr/\u003e8.

SOUNDBITE (English) Burt Levitch/Attorney for Katherine Jackson, on court hearing: \"We are relatively pleased with Judge (LA Superior Court Judge Mitchell) Beckloff's ruling this morning.

Weitzman issued a statement later calling the judge's ruling \"the correct decision.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe singer's mother, Katherine Jackson, had applied to oversee her son's estate, but that was before the 2002 will surfaced. Her attorney, Burt Levitch, expressed concerns about McClain and Branca's financial leadership.\u003cbr/\u003eJackson died June 25, deeply in debt. But a court filing estimates that his estate will be worth more than $500 million. His assets are destined for a private trust.\u003cbr/\u003eA public memorial has been scheduled for Jackson in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday. Dozens of police officers and a fire truck were parked outside Dodger Stadium on Monday, where ticket winners could start picking up their coveted passes to the Staples Center ceremony.\u003cbr/\u003eOn the legal front, Katherine Jackson's attorneys had asked that she be appointed to serve as a co-administrator with Branca and McClain. Beckloff refused to grant that request.\u003cbr/\u003eBranca and McClain will have to post a $1 million bond on the estate, Beckloff ruled. Their authority over the estate will expire Aug. 3, when another hearing on the estate will be held.\u003cbr/\u003eAttorneys also disclosed that another Jackson will from 1997 has been lodged with the court, but will only become a factor if the 2002 will is invalidated. Details of the older will were not disclosed.\u003cbr/\u003eL. Londell McMillan, Katherine Jackson's main attorney, said after the hearing that he did not expect a protracted fight.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We have no reason to believe this is going to turn into a nasty fight over millions and millions of dollars,\" McMillan said.\u003cbr/\u003eHe said he and other attorneys will be watching Branca's and McClain's actions closely.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We will be working to ensure that Mr. Jackson's legacy will be treated with dignity,\" McMillan said. \"Mr. Jackson's life and legacy will be memorialized tomorrow and we will move
