A Los Angeles court heard the surprise announcement of Katherine Jackson that she was dropping a challenge of the executors appointed to her son’s estate.

Katherine’s attorney, Adam Streisand, said she feels it is time the fighting over Michael’s estate came to an end. Michael’s will has two of his longtime associates, attorney John Branca and music exec John McClain, named as its executors.

Katherine earlier was indicating she would challenge the executors over alleged conflict of interest. But her change of course came as a move by her husband, Joe, to challenge the executors was revealed ahead of a Tuesday probate hearing.

Streisand also said Katherine, who is permanent guardian to Michael’s three children, feels her actions will be in their best interest.

Joe, meanwhile, was seeking an allowance from the will that did not name him. At 80, he suffers from diabetes and had a stroke in 1998. He lives in Las Vegas, while his wife of 50 years, Katherine lives in the family home in Encino, in the San Fernando Valley north of LA.

Joe, a former steelworker who drove his children’s musical business, listed his expenses as $1200 a month for rent, $2500 to eat out, $1000 for entertainment, gifts and vacations, $2000 on air travel and $3000 on hotels.
