Paris Jackson Wins Legal Ruling Involving $625K Connected to Michael Jackson Estate

Paris Jackson has won a court ruling in her legal battle over her late father Michael Jackson’s estate, after a judge ordered that $625,000 be paid back into the estate.

The case is part of a wider dispute between Paris and the estate’s co-executors, John Branca and John McClain, who have managed Michael Jackson’s finances since 2009. Paris has accused the estate of lacking transparency and questioned certain financial decisions, including spending linked to the upcoming biopic Michael, which she has publicly described as “troubling.”

Branca and McClain have denied wrongdoing and dismissed the allegations as “meritless.”

Court documents reported by People confirm that a Los Angeles judge ruled on May 13 that bonus payments totaling $625,000 made to third-party law firms in 2018 were not approved and must be returned to the estate.
