John Branca and John McClain have been named special administrators of Michael Jackson's estate. The ruling by a judge on Monday lasts until August 3. Katherine Jackson's lawyer contended a conflict of interest exists with Branca, who he says has business interests entwined with Jackson. But the judge ruled that Branca, and McClain, who are executors of Jackson's estate, should also be special administrators and a bond was set at $1 million to protect the estate from mismanagement of assets.
