Records filed by Michael Jackson’s estate executors in a Los Angeles probate court show that nearly $20 million was paid to support his mother, Katherine, and her three grandchildren now in her care in the first three and a half years after her son Michael Jackson’s death in June 2009. The payments by his estate to his mother and children have paid for everything from school tuition, tutors, vacations, the rental of a mansion and paying off the Jacksons’ longtime family home located in Encino.

Michael Jackson’s son Blanket, also known as Bigi, has filed legal papers to block his grandmother Katherine from using his father’s estate funds amid an ongoing legal battle with the estate executors. The 22-year-old is challenging Katherine’s access to the funds, marking a shift in their previously aligned stance on estate matters. The court documents do not specify the exact issue at hand, but recent reports suggest it may involve the potential sale of Michael Jackson’s music catalogue. Blanket’s legal team has expressed concerns about the escalating legal costs and urged the court to consider reimbursing Katherine for her attorney fees. The family dispute highlights the complexities surrounding the late pop star’s estate nearly 15 years after his passing.
