let's get insight on this from an estate attorney and former lawyer for the james brown family. lou, thank you for coming in on a holiday weekend. give thus facts. what are the facts of the michael jackson's will and the children and katherine jackson who, i believe, is 79 years old. there is a provision if she is not around or able to take care of those children. >> let's start with the principal. the state has a residuary clause in wills which says that everything, essentially everything after expenses are paid go to a trust. and that trust is designed to benefit whoever the beneficiaries are and that trust is not a public document, so we don't know the answer to who the beneficiaries are. the children's interests would be handled by their guardian, who is currently mrs. katherine jackson. >> everyone, katherine jackson is the matriarch of the family and beloved by many around the country and around the world and the truth is she is 79 years old and, so, there are some concern, some people are saying maybe debbie rowe should come in and have some parental rights with these chi
