A judge has delayed at least for a few hours his consideration of deals involving the Michael Jackson estate while he considers whether he should appoint a lawyer to represent Jackson's three children.
Katherine Jackson has accused the executors of her son Michael's estate of "keeping her in the dark."
Lawyers for the pop singer's estate and the companies involved in the deals warned a delay could cost the estate millions and derail plans for a documentary of Jackson's last days.
Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, raised objections Monday morning to contracts between her son's estate and concert promoter AEG Live, which promoted Jackson's London, England, shows, and merchandiser Bravado.
Even as Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff was saying he may wait another week to approve the deals, Sony Pictures issued a news release Monday announcing it would deliver the movie -- "This Is It" -- to theaters starting October 30 "with the full support of The Estate of Michael Jackson."
Beckloff said he is concerned that the interests of the minor children -- which he said may not be the same as their grandmother's -- were not being represented. He said he may appoint a special guardian to represent the children's legal interests.
