Paris Jackson sues estate executor, seeks $600 million for her and brothers
Paris Jackson, daughter of the late Michael Jackson, has filed a lawsuit against estate executor John Branca, alleging he has prevented her and her brothers, Prince and “Bigi,” from receiving their inheritance. The lawsuit requests the release of $600 million to be deposited into the trust established for the three children.
Michael Jackson, famed for hits like “Thriller” and “Beat It,” died on June 25, 2009. At the time of his death, his three children were minors. John Branca, Jackson’s longtime attorney since 1985, was appointed as the primary estate executor, with John McClain as co-executor until his death in May of this year.
Paris Jackson, 28, accuses Branca of obstructing the distribution of funds that should have been provided to the heirs. According to Jackson’s stipulations, each child was to begin receiving portions of their inheritance upon reaching the age of majority in the United States, which is 21. This has not occurred, as Prince is now 29, Paris is 28, and “Bigi” is 25.
The lawsuit seeks to replenish the trust fund with approximately $600 million, requesting the Los Angeles Superior Court to release the funds.
Jackson’s estate stipulated that the children would receive their inheritance in installments between the ages of 21, 30, 34, and 40, with the final portion to be distributed at the latter age.
