Story

In Los Angeles, Michael Jackson's daughter Paris, 26, made a public appearance one day after the 15th anniversary of her father's death. Despite posting a heartfelt tribute to Michael on Father's Day, Paris remained silent on his death anniversary. The Jackson family is embroiled in a legal battle over Michael's estate, with Paris, her siblings Prince and Bigi, and their grandmother Katherine involved. Court documents revealed that financial distributions from Michael's trust to his children and mother are on hold until the estate resolves a dispute with the IRS. The value of Jackson's music catalog, Mijac, owned by Sony Music, is still pending court review, delaying the finalization of the estate's value for tax purposes. Attorneys for the estate requested a portion of Michael's estate to be distributed to the family trust, sparking resistance from Bigi and Katherine against a potential sale. Despite efforts to keep their positions confidential, legal documents obtained by DailyMail.com showed ongoing disputes between the executors of the estate and Katherine over financial matters. Paris and Prince expressed their desire to maintain privacy regarding the legal conflicts surrounding their father's estate. The legal battle highlights the complexities and tensions within the Jackson family as they navigate the legacy and financial affairs left behind by the late King of Pop. On the 15th anniversary of Michael Jackson's death, fans gathered at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California, to pay their respects to the iconic singer. Jackson, known as the King of Pop, passed away at the age of 50 from a propofol overdose, with his personal doctor Conrad Murray convicted of involuntary manslaughter. Jackson's enduring impact on music and culture, from his early days with the Jackson 5 to his groundbreaking solo career, continues to resonate with fans worldwide. As the legal battles over his estate unfold, the Jackson family faces challenges in preserving his legacy while navigating financial disputes and maintaining privacy amidst public scrutiny.
