Michael Jackson's family have called for the removal of the officials in charge of the late star's estate, claiming that they are taking money which belongs to Jackson's children.

Janet, Rebbie, Tito, Randy and Jermaine Jackson are claiming that John Branca and John McClain, executives in charge of Jackson's estate, are guilty of faking documents in 2009, before his death, in order to get access to millions of dollars.

The family have issued an open letter to Branca and McClain, which reads: "At the time we couldn't possibly fathom what is so obvious to us now: that the will, without question, it's fake, flawed and fraudulent.

"Since the passing of Michael, our beloved brother, you have failed to perform your duties as executors of his estate, but what you have not failed at is taking advantage of a grieving mother, father and a grieving family.

"Our brother told us, in no uncertain terms and without hesitation in the months prior to his death, that he despised both of you and that he did not want either of you to have anything to do with his life or estate for that matter."

The family claim that Branco and McClain are taking money meant for Jackson's children and mother Katherine.

Posting on Twitter, Jermaine Jackson elaborated on the original letter, posting: "Re our letter to Estate: while fans only have limited info right now, we ask for patience because much is yet to emerge in this jigsaw."

Adding: "This is a serious matter that has been weighed carefully, including taking into account Michael's thoughts and feelings when he was alive."

Michael Jackson died on June 25th, 2009.
