The legal battle involving Michael Jackson's estate has taken a new turn as his son, Blanket, seeks to block his grandmother, Katherine Jackson, from accessing funds from the late pop icon's estate for a legal appeal. Blanket, now 22 years old, has filed a legal injunction against Katherine, aiming to prevent her from using his father's estate money to fund the appeal. If granted, the injunction would prohibit Katherine from utilizing the estate funds for the specified purpose, thus providing Blanket with legal protection regarding the management of his inheritance.
As reported by TMZ, the dispute arises from a previous court ruling where both Blanket and Katherine opposed the executors of Michael Jackson's estate from selling a significant portion of his music catalog. Despite their efforts, the legal battle concluded with the court ruling against them. Details of the deal have remained undisclosed, but Complex suggests that the ongoing legal conflict may align with Sony Music Group's recent acquisition of a substantial portion of Michael Jackson's music catalog, estimated to be worth over $1.2 billion. This transaction, amounting to roughly $600 million, is likely to increase the scrutiny surrounding the management of Michael Jackson's estate and its assets.
However, Katherine has opted to appeal the ruling with the intention of utilizing estate funds to cover legal expenses. In response, Blanket, as the heir to Michael Jackson's estate, vehemently opposed this decision and initiated legal action to block it. Blanket's filing for a legal injunction indicates his intention to protect his inheritance from being depleted by legal proceedings. It's also suggested that Blanket may have discovered the significant allowance Katherine receives from the estate, further motivating his action to prevent her from accessing additional funds.
Meanwhile, Michael Jackson's other children, Paris and Prince Jackson, have chosen to remain discreet on the matter, citing personal family reasons.
