The fate of Michael Jackson's children

THE death of Michael Jackson is likely to spark a massive legal battle over how much of his fortune - what is left of it - goes to his three children.

The singer was pronounced dead aged 50 at a hospital in Los Angeles last night. He was taken there in a coma following his collapse at home.

Jackson is survived by Prince Michael, 12, and Paris, 11, and seven-year-old Prince Michael II, known as Blanket.

His ex-wife Debbie Rowe is expected to receive initial custody while long term arrangements are sorted. But Blanket will probably be taken separately as he is not the child of Debbie.
