Michael Jackson’s siblings resume attack on will

photo More than three years after Michael Jackson’s death on June 25, 2009, the pop superstar’s will is being criticized by some of his siblings that it is a fake and the executors of his estate should step down, though experts note that the window to contest the five-page document has long since closed.

In a recent letter, Randy Jackson and three of his siblings called on Jackson’s estate executors to resign and renewed claims that the will is a fake.
