The Jackson family is accusing the executors of Michael Jackson's estate, John Branca and John McClain, of forging his will and have fired off an irate five-page letter demanding their immediate resignation.

A copy of the letter was obtained by Celebuzz and outlines the complaints of MJ's siblings, stating, ''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."

The letter continues and is rather blunt with the accusations: ''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."

The Jackson write that they have proof that Michael never signed the alleged will. ''The Will that you presented did not have our brother's signature on it, nor did it have a signature page attached to it." When the family questioned Branca about the missing signature page, he supposedly replied, "It was on its way, and you were having just a little problem finding it."

The Jacksons also state they have verifiable proof that Michael was not even in Los Angeles on July 7, 2002, the date the will was allegedly signed by Jackson.

''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 Jackson family boldly claims.

Branca and McClain have since responded to the letter, and seem to suggest the Jacksons are merely upset that they were excluded from the will, saying, "We are saddened that false and defamatory accusations grounded in stale Internet conspiracy theories are now being made by certain members of Michael's family whom he chose to leave out of his will."

Interestingly, Branca and McClain's attorney Howard Weitzman even suggests that the accusations have already failed in court. "Any doubts about the validity of Michael's will and his selection of executors were thoroughly and completely debunked two years ago when a challenge was rejected by the Los Angeles Superior Court, the California Court of Appeals, and finally, the California Supreme Court," he told RadarOnline.
