It is reported that Michael Jackson's funeral will take place in Los Angeles next week.
The Hollywood Reporter says that the funeral will take place on Tuesday, 7 July at the Staples Center in Los Angeles at 10am local time.
The trade daily cites sources as saying that AEG Live, which owns the Staples Center and the adjacent Nokia Theater, will use both venues and the surrounding plaza for the service.
The Staples Center can accommodate 20,000 people.
Jackson named the singer Diana Ross as the guardian of his children should his mother not be able to care for them.
In his five-page will, which has been registered in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, he left his $500m estate in a trust for his children.
He stated that his 79-year-old mother, Katherine, should be carer for his three children, Prince Michael I, 12; Paris, 11, and Prince Michael II, 7.
Jackson said that should his mother be unable to look after the children, then Diana Ross, 65, his mentor, should be their guardian.
The will was made on 7 July, 2002 and three associates for Jackson - attorney John Branca, John McClain and Barry Siegel - were named co-executors of the will.
The will also stated that he chose not to provide for his former wife, Debbie Rowe.
The documents said Jackson's estate consisted almost entirely of "non-cash, non-liquid assets, including primarily an interest in a catalogue of music royalty rights which is currently being administered by Sony ATV, and the interests of various entities".
The Sony ATV deal includes the Beatles back catalogue.
