Joe Jackson, father of the late pop star Michael Jackson, has been granted a hearing on October 6 to attempt to remove the executors of his son's estate.

The older Jackson, who was not named in his son's will, is expected to argue that he should have a say in the potential executors of his son's estate because he was financially dependent on his son Michael. He has therefore requested the removal of the currently-named executors - Michael Jackson's attorney John Branca and music executive and family friend John McClain.
虽然在迈克尔的遗书中并未提及父亲乔的名字，但乔将会基于自己是儿子的衣食来源为理由，向法院提请把自己列为遗产执行人。同时，他还要求取消目前的执行人——迈克尔-杰克逊的律师约翰-布兰卡，以及音乐制作人兼好友约翰-麦克莱恩的遗产执行权。
Said his attorney Brian Oxman, "I think it's an important issue for all fathers around the country and around the world that when their child dies they should have a say-so in their child's estate."
乔的律师表示，“对于全世界无论哪一国家的所有父亲来说，这都是件重要的事，那就是在自己的儿子过世以后，对他所留下的遗产具有发言权。”
