A person with knowledge of Michael Jackson's will says the singer's mother will get custody of his children and his assets are to be placed put in trust.
The will disclosed Tuesday was created in July 2002 and named as
executors Jackson's longtime lawyer John Branca and John McClain, a music executive and a family friend, says the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The person says the Jackson family and lawyers are reviewing
the document.
Meanwhile, a nutritionist who was working to get Jackson in shape for a comeback bid says she strongly advised him not to take a powerful sedative to battle insomnia.
Cherilyn Lee, a registered nurse and nutritional counselor, says Jackson pleaded for Diprivan, despite her warnings it could be harmful. She says she repeatedly rejected his demands for the drug, which is given intravenously.
Lee says she got a frantic phone call from Jackson four days before his death that made her fear that he gotten hold of Diprivan or another drug to induce sleep. She says she was contacted by a Jackson staffer and heard Jackson saying in the background that one side of his body felt hot, the other side very cold. Lee says she told the staffer that Jackson needed to go to the hospital "right away." Jackson did not go to the hospital.
