Michael Jackson memorial set for Tuesday

Posted: 12:42 PM ET

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) - Michael Jackson's memorial service will take place Tuesday morning in the Staples Center, the 20-thousand seat arena in downtown Los Angeles where Jackson rehearsed his show the night before he died, according to a person who has been briefed by a representative of the family.

No other details about the service, set to begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday, have been revealed.

The family trust created by Jackson to receive all of his assets includes his mother, his children and a list of charities, according to a person with direct knowledge to the contents of the trust.

Katherine Jackson's 40 percent share would go to Michael Jackson's three children after her death, the source said.

The children - ages 7, 11 and 12 - will also share 40 percent of the estate's assets and the remaining 20 percent will benefits charities designated by the executors of the will, the source said.
