They want to interview them and search their records.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff will not respond to their request until Monday.

Tuesday's filing was meant to expedite the process of obtaining "important personal, business and legal information and documents relating to Michael Jackson" including his deal with concert promoter AEG, according to a written statement from L. Londell McMillan, who is part of Katherine Jackson's legal team.
They're also seeking "life insurance policies, settlements and disputes as well as agreements between the temporary special administrators and Michael Jackson."
McMillan said they'd requested some of the documents before and had hoped to see them before the Aug. 3 hearing.
