F. Marc Schaffel, Michael Jackson's former business partner, has succeeded in placing a lien on Jackson's two properties at Neverland and his parents' home in Hayvenhurst Avenue in Encino.
The liens will remain in place until Jackson pays the $559K awarded by a judge in favour of Schaffel a fortnight ago.
In the event that Jackson is thinking of earning some money, by producing a record or appearing on stage, now might be a good time to start.
