The items were to go on auction in April, but Jackson sued to stop the auction and the property was returned to him. Uncertainty now surrounds Jackson's estate.

His partners in the catalogue of copyrights (including over 250 Beatles songs) remain uncertain of who will inherit his interest. EPA/PAUL BUCK
