Michael Jackson's Mother Battles Estate Over Legal Fees and Profit Deal
Katherine Jackson, the 93-year-old mother of the late Michael Jackson, is contesting a secretive 'incredibly lucrative' deal made by the executors of her son's estate, leading to a legal battle that has accumulated over $500,000 in legal fees. She is seeking payment for these fees from the estate, which is primarily inherited by Michael's three children but also includes a trust for her. The estate's executors, John Branca and John McClain, have a history of disputes with Katherine, especially regarding deals they believe are profitable for the estate but which she opposes in an effort to protect her son's legacy.
