Los Angeles judge seals Michael Jackson estate documents amid Paris Jackson lawsuit
On 5 November a Los Angeles judge granted estate executor John Branca’s request to seal portions of the Michael Jackson estate’s financial filings, a step in the ongoing litigation over the late singer’s assets. The ruling keeps the documents confidential while the case proceeds.
The decision follows earlier moves by Paris Jackson, who on 29 October filed a motion seeking to cut Branca’s $109 million fee and asked the court to place $600 million of the estate into a family trust for herself and her brothers. These earlier actions set the stage for the current dispute, with Jackson alleging incomplete accountings and demanding a substantial distribution, while the estate contests the claims and highlights the pending legal matters.
