Paris Jackson Faces $115K Legal Bill From Estate Executors
13 Jan
Summary
- Estate executors demand $115,000 in legal fees from Paris Jackson.
- Paris questioned estate payments, citing 'premium payments for unrecorded time'.
- Executors state Paris has already received $65 million from the estate.
John Branca and John McClain, the executors of Michael Jackson's estate, are seeking $115,000 from Paris Jackson to cover legal fees. The demand includes roughly $94,000 for past expenses and an additional $21,000 for anticipated future legal costs. This action follows a court decision that denied Paris's bid to halt specific estate expenditures.
Paris had previously expressed concerns regarding the estate's disbursements to external law firms in 2018. Her legal team alleged issues with "premium payments for unrecorded attorney time" and suggested potential "lavish gratuities" being paid to counsel.
The estate executors have refuted these claims, asserting that all payments made were legitimate and standard within the entertainment industry. They also noted that Paris herself has received substantial benefits, estimated at $65 million, from the estate since Michael Jackson's death in 2009.
