Paris Jackson fights estate executor over Michael Jackson inheritance documents

Paris Jackson is locked in a new legal battle with the executor of her father Michael Jackson's estate, John Branca, over the confidentiality of financial documents. Branca has asked a court to keep certain records sealed, citing potential harm to future business agreements and the risk of misuse by third parties.

However, Jackson, the sole daughter of the late King of Pop, has opposed this request. She has expressed dissatisfaction with the estate's management since 2025, asserting that her access to financial information has been limited and demanding greater transparency. According to court documents, she believes Branca's move is a tactic to protect his reputation rather than benefit the estate.

Adding to the dispute, Jackson claims that Branca and the estate's co-executor, John McClain, have collectively earned over $120 million for their services. She contrasts this sum with the total received by herself and her two brothers since Michael Jackson's death in 2009. The executors, however, maintain that the Jackson children have already received millions in benefits from the estate.

This legal skirmish follows a previous court ruling that required the executors to present financial reports for the period of 2019 to 2024 by September 15. Jackson is now pushing for Branca's confidentiality request to be rejected.
