KATHERINE JACKSON WANTS $561K IN LEGAL FEES ON TOP OF HER $1M ALLOWANCE AS SHE
FIGHTS MICHAEL’S ESTATE EXECUTORS OVER PROPOSED SECRET DEAL

Posted byBy Angelina Velasquez | Published on: January 7, 2024 CommentsComments

The legal battle between Katherine Jackson and John Branca and John McClain, the
executors of her late son Michael Jackson’s estate, is hardly over. The family
matriarch is now reportedly seeking a half-a-million-dollar payout from the
music icon’s estate to cover her attorney fees.

Katherine has been embroiled for months in an ongoing fight to appeal a judge’s
order allowing the executors to move forward with a lucrative business deal to
increase the singer’s posthumous fortune. Documents obtained by RadarOnline
allege that she is on the hook for $561,548 in related costs to the appeal
process.

In the filing, she stated that the estate has “ample resources and much more
than will be necessary to pay its anticipated expenses.” Branca and McClain have
been overseers of Michael’s remaining wealth and assets since his death in 2009.

His three children, Prince, Paris, and Bigi, most commonly known as “Blanket,”
are the beneficiaries of the estate; however, the King of Pop made sure his
mother would be cared for in his absence through a trust established solely for
her care.

The latest round of the legal melee between the elderly mother and the “Smooth
Criminal” artist’s estate team comes a year after the men sought a judge’s
approval to move forward with a lucrative business proposal, rumored to be the
sale of half of the icon’s music catalog for $800 million.





While details of the secret business arrangement have remained protected by
sealed court documents, but it is clear that both Branca and McClain believed it
would substantially benefit the late entertainer’s estate and children, who have
not expressed opposition to the deal.

The singer reportedly died with millions of dollars worth of debt. By December
2022, it was estimated that his legacy had amassed more than $2 billion in
earnings from various projects orchestrated by Branca and McClain. Still, the
93-year-old appeared in court in April when she testified in opposition to the
deal.



“The Estate was teetering on the verge of collapse, with more than $400
million in debt that encumbered Michael’s most significant assets and little or
no liquidity or means to service that debt. Through creative thinking, hard work
and business savvy—and, of course, Michael’s extraordinary creative legacy—the
Executors transformed the MJJ Business into a profitable enterprise,” said the
estate overseers in a previous filing.



Katherine was served with a $909,263.94 tax lien for her Calabasas home by the
state of California in November. According to Radar Online, she failed to pay
her tax bill in full between 2018 and 2021. In May, it was also reported that
the mother of ten received a nearly $1 million allowance from the estate in
2022.
