Michael Jackson’s daughter is seeking a court-ordered preliminary distribution to fund a trust for his three children as the estate remains tied up in tax disputes.
In a legal move, Paris Jackson has petitioned the court for a $600 million transfer to the family trust. While the estate has generated significant income since Michael Jackson's passing, his children have yet to see the trust funded. Its executors cite unresolved tax matters as a barrier.
Michael Jackson's daughter Paris Jackson is seeking more than half a billion dollars in a preliminary transfer from her father's estate to a trust for the three siblings. The trust was designed to give the three children income from respective shares when they turned 21, and then begin receiving portions of the money held for them at age 30, with additional distributions at 35 and 40.
Times of India reported the story as "17 years after Michael Jackson's death, daughter Paris seeks $600M for trust." Los Angeles Times reported the story as "Paris Jackson seeks $600 million from Michael Jackson's estate to go to his three children." Just the News reported the story as "Paris Jackson asks Michael Jackson's estate for $600 million for her family's trust."
