Michael Jackson’s Son Says Estate Shouldn’t Pay Grandmother’s Legal Bills In Dispute Over $600 Million Catalog Deal

Michael Jackson’s son Blanket is opposing his grandmother's request to use estate funds in her ongoing legal battles against the estate’s executors.

Both of them initially opposed the estate’s proposed transaction, but after the judge ruled last year that the deal could move forward, Blanket and Jackson’s other children accepted the decision. In December, Katherine filed motions asking that the estate pay for her legal bills stemming from her objections, including the ongoing appellate case. In a court filing earlier this month, Branca and McClain said she had asked for more than $561,548 to cover her legal fees for both her initial objections and the current appeal.
