Michael Jackson’s Estate Reacts to Paris Jackson Opposing Payouts

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 15 – The estate defends $250,000 legal bonuses amid objections from Paris Jackson, citing complex litigation and a $287.5 million sale that grew estate value over 6,000 times, executors say.

  • Last week, the Executors of Michael Jackson’s Estate revealed issues related to one of the late pop star’s ex-wives to justify legal fee requests.
  • Last week, Paris Jackson filed an objection over estate payments for 'unrecorded attorney time' in 2018, the filing said.
  • In the July filing, John Branca and John McClain requested $250,000 in legal bonuses, the Executors said, defending payments to two high-powered law firms for 2018 work.
  • In Los Angeles on July 16, 2025, the court will hold a hearing, and has yet to rule on estate-related legal fee disputes, impacting beneficiaries' access to funds.
  • Ahead of September 2, Greg Griffin confirmed the estate is preparing for the appeal, with the next step being court submissions.
