Aug 18 (IBNS) Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff appointed estate law expert Margaret Lodise to represent the late King of Pop Michael Jackson’s children after he decided their interests might conflict with their grandmother’s.

The CNN reported Margaret made her first court appearance Monday as a judge decides if he’ll approve a contract between Jackson’s estate and concert promoter AEG Live.

Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson, has the custody of the three children and she was the first to raise her objections on the deal that would give AEG Live a share of rights to video of her son’s final rehearsals.

Estate lawyers have warned the Judge that a delay could cost millions of dollars, but still Beckloff delayed his decision on the AEG Live contract by one week to give the children’s new lawyer time to weigh in on the deal.

If the Judge rules in favor of AEG Live, then the contract would provide for an exhibition of Jackson memorabilia that would travel to at least three cities, according to Kathy Jorrie, a lawyer for concert promoter AEG Live.

“The longer we wait, the more time passes, frankly, the less interest there will be on the part of the public to come see it,” Jorrie said.
