Michael Jackson Estate Scores Victory in Legal Battle With His Mother Over $600M Sony Catalog Sale
In the Michael Jackson music catalog sale fight, the estate has scored a tentative court win that would allow it to proceed with a sale to Sony Music.
Michael Jackson ’s estate has won a tentative court ruling that would allow it to proceed with a $600 million sale of the singer’s catalog to Sony Music, overcoming objections from his mother that aimed to block the deal. But because the Jackson estate is still pending before a Los Angeles probate court more than 15 years after his 2009 death, his executors took the then-confidential deal to Judge Mitchell Beckloff for approval. In March, Jackson’s son Blanket asked the judge to stop his grandmother from using estate money to fund her efforts to block the Sony deal.
