Paris Jackson demands $600M from dad Michael’s estate, accuses executor of withholding kids’ inheritance

In a bombshell court filing, obtained exclusively by Page Six, the 28-year-old singer is asking a judge to order the estate to make a preliminary distribution of $600 million to the Michael Jackson Family Trust, arguing that there is no legitimate reason the money has not been transferred more than 17 years after the King of Pop’s death.

Paris claims that despite the estate generating billions of dollars and accumulating hundreds of millions in cash, the trust intended to benefit her and her brothers, Prince, 29, and Bigi, 24, remains unfunded.

The petition, filed Oct. 29 in Los Angeles Superior Court, takes aim at executor John Branca, accusing him of maintaining an “iron grip” over the siblings by controlling when and if they receive money from their father’s estate.

Branca, an attorney and chairman of The Michael Jackson Company, was initially hired by the King of Pop in 1985. 

Branca resigned from Jackson’s team over financial matters in 2006, before rejoining in 2009 — eight days before Jackson died.

Michael’s will stipulated that his children should start receiving income from their respective portions of the trust when they turned 21. However, Paris claims that never happened, and that they instead receive smaller amounts determined by Branca.

The matter is scheduled for a December hearing. 

Michael died on June 25, 2009, at age 50. He named his family trust as the sole beneficiary of his estate, with Branca also named as trustee.
