Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009, after suffering a heart attack caused by a drug overdose | PA<\/p>\nBigi Jackson’s legal team has made an unsuccessful attempt to broker peace between his sister Paris Jackson and the executors of their father\u2019s estate, court documents have revealed.<\/p>\n
Filings submitted on Monday show executors John Branca and John McClain believed a deal had been reached through efforts led by Bigi, formally known as Blanket’s counsel.<\/p>\n
They claimed Bigi\u2019s legal team indicated they were speaking \u201cfor all three siblings\u201d, including Paris and Prince Jackson, and that an agreement had been finalised in late March.<\/p>\n
However, the executors allege Paris\u2019s lawyers abruptly pulled out at the final stage.<\/p>\n
In court filings, Mr Branca and Mr McClain said her legal team \u201cinexplicably reversed their position entirely and reneged on the agreement that was acceptable to all other parties\u201d.<\/p>\n
They claim Paris then introduced a new set of demands described as \u201cradically different\u201d from what had previously been agreed.<\/p>\n
At the centre of the dispute is the estate\u2019s accounting process, with Paris pushing for greater oversight.<\/p>\n
One proposal would require the executors to seek court approval before issuing bonus payments to law firms working on the estate.<\/p>\n

The source added: \u201cThese lawyers are using Jackson family resources to mock, belittle and attack her for demanding transparency.”<\/p>\n
The dispute forms part of a wider legal battle over the handling of Michael Jackson\u2019s estate since his death in 2009.<\/p>\n
Paris has alleged the executors paid themselves and estate lawyers excessively, claiming more than $148 million (\u00a3111.9 million) had been taken by 2021, an amount she says exceeds what the siblings have received.<\/p>\n
The estate, now valued at around $2 billion (\u00a31.5 billion) has still not been fully distributed nearly 17 years after the singer\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
The executors dispute the claims, saying Paris has received at least $65 million (\u00a349 million) and arguing their management has generated billions for the estate.<\/p>\n
Alongside the ongoing legal dispute, Paris has also faced public scrutiny over her personal and professional decisions. <\/p>\n
