Why did MJ think he would die before his Mum?
Gone too soon

Something has been bugging me: why did Michael leave his children to his Mother or to Diana Ross?
They are both much older than he is. The natural thing would be to leave the children to someone younger as - most likely - Kathrine and Diana would die before he did.
He seemed to know he would die first. Strange <!-- s:( -->:(<!-- s:( -->

Secondly.. if that Will is genuine, then MJ made it only a few years ago and both his mother and Diana are fit and well and i guess he thought they would be good guardians.
But i dont believe the will is real... even if MJ is gone, that will is still suspect.
Actually, Katherine is not that well. She has several health issues, including heart problems, and has for a number of years. She's certainly not at death's door but not exactly what one would call healthy.
I don't think it has anything to do with age,I think it has a lot to do with having good Mother skills.Obviously these two women had the biggest positive influence on Michael more than anyone.Michael was not married at the time of his "death" the(kids)would have gone to his next of kin that being Katherine anyway,or the state.Debbie gave up her rights and we don't know who Blanket's mother is anyway.However I do believe he thought about his mother's age so he called on Diana to step in,and she says she wil be there if they ever need her.Believe it or not,single parents have who have never been married face this delima,who's going to get your children incase of your demise,that's why its always good to have a WILL.
In that case you would just simply change who the children went to if anything happened.
When you pick people I don't think it's based on age,[it wasn't for me anyway-age never entered into it] but based on the best all around situation and that takes a lot of thought and going back and forth with pros and cons. Michael's immune system didn't function properly so if he really thought he would go first that could have been a factor.
The whole family was worried about Katherine's heart when she visited a doctor during MJ's trial in 2005.
