OS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- A lawyer filed Michael Jackson's will -- written seven years ago -- with the Los Angeles County Superior Court on Wednesday morning, court officials said.
Jackson placed his entire estate -- which he estimated to be worth at least $500 million -- in the Michael Jackson Family Trust, which was described in another document not filed in court.
While it will be up to a court to decide who gets custody of Jackson's three children, he nominated his mother, Katherine Jackson, as their guardian. If Katherine Jackson, 79, is not living, Jackson said, "I nominate Diana Ross as guardian."
Jackson attorney John Branca, attorney Barry Siegel and John McClain, a music industry executive and longtime Jackson friend, were named as executors of the will.
Branca and McClain issued a joint statement Wednesday: "The most important element of Michael's will is his unwavering desire that his mother, Katherine, become the legal guardian for his three children. As we work to carry out Michael's instructions to safeguard both the future of his children as well as the remarkable legacy he left us as an artist we ask that all matters involving his estate be handled with the dignity and the respect that Michael and his family deserve."
