     *The fact that Michael Jackson explicitly left his father, Joe Jackson, out of his will matters not to the elder Jackson. He's on a quest to get his hands on some of that money.

     On Monday, a lawyer for Joe Jackson filed a 60-page motion that intensifies a bid to get money from MiJac's estate by making accusations of fraud against the administrators of his will.

     The AP reports that attorney Brian Oxman, filed a blizzard of documents in court claiming that the singer believed his old friends John Branca and John McClain had defrauded him. He also accused both of conflicts of interest and said they should be removed from administering the will.

     Joseph Jackson was omitted from his son's will with all of Michael Jackson's assets going to his mother, his children and children's charities.

     Howard Weitzman, one of the attorneys representing Branca and McClain, issued a statement Monday night in response to the motion. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for Tuesday morning.

     "These claims filed by Joe Jackson are so outrageous that they don't deserve any response," said Weitzman.

     It was unclear whether Joseph Jackson has the legal standing to challenge its provisions.

     Oxman said in a phone interview that the father is allowed to challenge the executors as "an interested party who has the right to be an executor or personal representative."
