中新社洛杉矶七月一日电(记者 张炜) 已故“流行天王”迈克尔·杰克逊七年前订立的遗嘱一日正式呈送洛杉矶高等法院备案。遗嘱声明,全部财产交付一个信托基金,他的母亲获得三个子女的监护权,而前妻黛比·洛尔则一无所获。
这份遗嘱共分五页,由迈克尔·杰克逊于二00二年七月七日订立,迈克尔指定他的律师布兰卡、音乐制作人麦克兰和会计师西格尔为遗嘱执行人。
迈克尔在遗嘱中声明,他的全部财产(当时估计超过五亿美元)交付“迈克尔·杰克逊家庭信托基金”,并指定他的母亲凯瑟琳·杰克逊和三名子女为遗产受益人。迈克尔的父亲乔·杰克逊不在受益人名单中。迈克尔在遗嘱中特意强调:她的前妻黛比·洛尔不能继承任何遗产。
在子女监护权方面,迈克尔在遗嘱中说:“当前我有三名孩子,除此之外,我没有任何其他的子女。”迈克尔指定母亲凯瑟琳·杰克逊为三名未成年子女的监护人,如果凯瑟琳去世或不愿承担监护权,则由戴安娜·罗斯(美国黑人女歌手)担任子女监护人。
本周一,法庭裁定凯瑟琳·杰克逊取得迈克尔三名子女的临时监护权。当时杰克逊家族的律师声称没有发现迈克尔·杰克逊的遗嘱,这份订立于七年前的遗嘱昨天正式浮出水面。据分析,该遗嘱在处理迈克尔复杂、棘手的遗留问题方面将发挥重要作用。
以下为杰克逊遗嘱全文中文翻译:
迈克尔·约瑟夫·杰克逊遗嘱
我是迈克尔·约瑟夫·杰克逊(MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON),是美国加利福尼亚州居民,我宣布这是我的遗嘱,并在此宣告以前所有由我签署的遗嘱作废。
第一部分
我宣布我目前单身。我和前妻黛比·洛尔(DEBROAH JEAN ROWE JACKSON)的婚姻已解散。我有三个还在世的孩子,普林斯·迈克尔·杰克逊(PRINCE MICHAEL JACKSON, JR.)、巴里斯·迈克尔·凯瑟琳·杰克逊(PARIS MICHAEL KATHERINE JACKSON)和普林斯·迈克尔·杰克逊二世(PRINCE MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON,II.), 我没有其他的在世或已去世的孩子。
第二部分
我将借此遗嘱处理我名下的所有遗产。
第三部分
我将我的全部财产受托于2002年3月之前由我修订的“迈克尔·杰克逊家庭信托基金”(MICHAEL JACKSON FAMILY TRUST),我生前对该基金所有条款的修订都有效。所有资产应根据信托基金条款继续管理和分配,而不是作为一个单独的遗嘱信托。
如果因为任何原因遗嘱无效,我把我的剩余资产受托于2002年3月修订前的“迈克尔·杰克逊家庭信托基金”(MICHAEL JACKSON FAMILY TRUST),我直接表明,基金受托人按照规定划分、管理、持有和分配资产。以上信托基金条款在本遗嘱签署以后将不接受任何修订。在条款中的基金受托人或任何继任受托人无牵连关系。
第四部分
我申明,所有联邦遗产税和继承税由我的“迈克尔·杰克逊家族信托基金”的资产支付,不包括在上述基金资产的遗产税和继承税,将不由本信托基金支付。
第五部分
我任命约翰·布兰卡(JOHN BRANCA),约翰·麦克莱恩(JOHN MCCLAIN) 和巴里·西格尔(BARRY SIEGEL)为遗嘱共同执行人。如果遗嘱共同执行人出现死亡、辞职、残疾,不能或拒绝担任共同执行人,其他的共同执行人可以替换。在我死后,如果三位遗嘱共同执行人都不能再执行下去时,可以任命其他人替代。
在本遗嘱,“我的遗嘱执行人”表示代理执行我个人遗产的任何人。涉及的任何执行人没有牵连关系。
在此,我给与我的遗嘱执行人充分的权利,他们可以在任何时候出售、出租、抵押、质押、交换或以其他方式处置资产,无论是不动产还是个人资产。在条款规定下,执行人可以运营资产、购买资产、支付保险费(包括人寿保险),以及任何处于以上目的和有根据的作出的关于资产的抵押,变卖或投资。
此外,我给与我的遗嘱执行人充分的权利,他们有权利投资房地产基金或资产,或者任何其他资产,包括任何个人或者混合资产,还可以投资公司债券、股票、优先股或者普通股,但也并不限制于此。并且可以参股投资公司、基金或者遗嘱执行人名下的公司,这些投资都需要谨慎判断。
第六部分
除上述遗嘱条款中和第三部分排除的遗产继承人外,我特意排除一位我的遗产继承人,就是我前妻:黛比·洛尔(DEBROAH JEAN ROWE JACKSON)。
第七部分
在我死亡后,依照加利福尼亚州相关法律规定需要对我所属资产进行辅助管理,那么由“我的遗嘱执行人”执行相关条款。我在此指定执行人具备额外的行使权利:有权利决定何时处置资产、何时结束处置;有权利决定什么资产被处置;有权利直接为加利福利亚州以外的辅助执行人支付需要费用,如税收、开支和管理费用,还包括辅助执行者的养老金和由于管理资产产生的律师费用;辅助执行者有权分配、转让和交付剩余财产给加利福利亚州的遗嘱执行者。我的意图是我的全部财产应作为一个整体管理,遗嘱执行者应按照当地法律和其他管理规定,管理和处置我的遗产。
第八部分
如果我在子女未成年时去世,那么我指定我的母亲,凯瑟琳·杰克逊作为三名子女的监护人。如果凯瑟琳·杰克逊去世或不愿作为监护人,则指定戴安娜·罗斯作为房屋和三名子女的监护人。
