Michael Jackson's mother approves will executors

LOS ANGELES (AP)

Michael Jackson's mother has withdrawn her objections to the appointment of two longtime Jackson associates as executors of the singer's will.

The surprise announcement Tuesday came from Katherine Jackson's attorney Adam Streisand, who said his client feels it's "high time the fighting end."

Streisand says Katherine Jackson no longer objects to the appointment of attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain to oversee the singer's estate.

Streisand says the mother feels her actions are in the best interest of her son's children.

A judge says he will make the formal appointment after resolving whether Jackson's father can challenge the appointments.

Joseph Jackson was omitted from his son's will.

Lawyers for the estate were ordered back later to argue to matter.
