Michael Jackson’s son, Blanket ‘Bigi’ Jackson, filed legal papers to block his grandmother Katherine from using estate funds in a legal battle with estate executors.
The legal dispute centers on efforts to sell a large portion of Jackson’s catalogue.
Blanket opposes the potential sale but is not involved in Katherine’s appeal against the court’s ruling allowing executors to explore further options.
He feels the appeal will not succeed and wants to avoid costly legal bills that could devalue the estate.
Blanket’s legal team requested reimbursement for Katherine’s attorney fees prior to the appeal. Blanket, known for his privacy, wished to keep his stance confidential.
Executors John Branca and John McClain sought court approval to sell Jackson’s catalogue amid financial challenges faced by the estate.
Katherine objected to the sale, citing Jackson’s wishes and the estate’s financial turnaround efforts.
The court granted permission to pursue the sale despite Katherine’s appeal.
Sony recently purchased half of Jackson’s material for $600 million, prompting objections from Katherine and Prince Jackson’s preference for privacy.

Legal battles can be expensive, and if he believes the appeal has a low chance of success, then blocking those funds seems like a smart move.
