Michael Jackson’s son conflicts with his grandmother in a legal battle
The Jackson family is having a legal disagreement, related to youngest child Bigi and grandmother Katherine.
On March 21, TMZ reported that Bigi Jackson filed a petition asking the court to prevent grandmother Katherine from using money from Michael Jackson’s estate fund as appeal costs in the legal battle with the estate administrators for “the king”. pop music”.
The 22-year-old son’s latest move contrasts with the recent legal efforts of Bigi and his grandmother. Because before that, both of them stood on the same side, opposing the group of people in charge of managing the estate to make “big business transactions” from the massive assets that Michael left behind.
According to Justjared, initially, Bigi and Katherine filed the petition, but then his grandmother reportedly wanted to continue the appeal with money from the estate. However, Bigi does not want to use money from this source to fight against that group of people.

“Bigi’s lawyers told the court that the appeal would not be successful and did not want to reduce the value of his father’s assets due to expensive legal bills,” Daily Mail said.
Even so, Bigi still agreed to let her grandmother use her father’s assets to cover the initial legal fees.
Previously, in 2022, John Branca and John McClain – the two executors of Michael’s estate – sought court approval to sell off the “king of pop”‘s assets. This made the music star’s late mother angry and immediately filed a lawsuit.
The judge in the case ultimately granted Branca and McClain permission to sell the property portfolio. After that, Ms. Katherine filed an appeal, accusing the executors of exceeding their authority.
After Michael Jackson passed away in June 2009, his estate was managed by an organization of many people. Over the past 15 years, they have sought to convert their physical portfolios into cash on the grounds that they “will yield maximum value under current market conditions”. They fear Michael’s fortune will collapse. However, the “king of pop” family did not agree with that, so both sides continued to sue.
