Katherine Jackson<\/a>‘s battle with her grandson,\u00a0<\/span>Blanket “Bigi” Jackson<\/a>, over\u00a0<\/span>Michael Jackson<\/a>‘s estate has taken another turn.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to court documents obtained by ET, Katherine accuses the executors of her late son’s estate of trying to keep a tight grip over the money the estate distributes to the trust and, in turn, its beneficiaries. The court documents leave no room for ambiguity when they claim that “it seems clear to [Katherine] that the Executors are holding all of the assets in the Estate in order to keep control over them, and to avoid the more liberal distribution of requirements of the Trust.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The documents also state that “there can be little question that the Court has jurisdiction to instruct the Executors to pay [Katherine’s] fees from the Estate.”<\/span><\/p>\n

As <\/span>ET previously reported<\/a>, Katherine wants the estate to cover the legal fees she racked up in the process of appealing a judge’s prior ruling that allowed the estate to move forward with an undisclosed business transaction. Bigi had initially been on board with his grandmother but ultimately sided with the estate to move forward with the business transaction. Katherine, however, decided to appeal the decision, and she now wants the estate to cover the legal expenses for said appeal.<\/span><\/p>\n

For his part, Bigi wants the court to deny her request because, according to court documents, he “did not appeal the Court\u2019s ruling,” while adding that “it was\u00a0apparent that the Court was acting within its discretionary powers … the chances of a reversal on appeal were quite slim and Bigi did not wish to incur further expense in pursuing an appeal.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In Katherine’s court documents, it states that “there can be little question that the Court has jurisdiction to instruct Executors to pay [her] fees from the Estate.” The documents add, “Based upon the information available to [Katherine], it appears that the Estate is currently holding something in the range of $1.5 billion.” The court documents also state that the estate is worth roughly $112 million.<\/span><\/p>\n
