A Los Angeles court has appointed Katherine Jackson as the temporary special administrator of her son, Michael Jackson's, estate.

According to new court papers obtained by ET, Katherine will have the power to administer aspects of her son's estate until a July 6 hearing. The judge states specifically that Katherine will be able "to control tangible personal property currently in the physical possession of a third party, and to marshal and secure such assets."

In court papers filed by Katherine Jackson, she states, "Numerous bank accounts now exist that are in control of third parties, some of which accounts were used to pay expenses of [Michael Jackson's] parents' home."

They also noted that "no one is appointed to speak on behalf" of Jackson's stake in the Sony-ATV Music Publishing catalog, which contains some of the Beatles library.

Another point made in the papers was that "tangible person property" is "currently in the possession of a third party. Representatives of [Michael Jackson] previously had sought to have certain memorabilia of [Michael Jackson] sold at auction. The auction was canceled by [Jackson] but a former representative of [Jackson] still has possession of these items even though there is no authority for retention of the items."

Other concerns Jackson raised in the papers were that they have not seen a will, and that at least one person has claimed he or she has power of attorney over Jackson.

The court granted limited rights to Katherine and is expected to rule on the other requests on July 6.
