The judge ordered that executors John Branca and John McClain, who paid $625,000 in bonus payments to third-party law firms, will have to return the amount to the estate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The motion states, \u201cMs. Jackson\u2019s objection to the $625,000 of bonus payments made in the second six months of 2018 is sustained. The bonus payments are not approved; they are disallowed. The payments shall be returned to the estate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As per court\u2019s filing, Paris is entitled to attorneys\u2019 fees and costs. The court order reads, \u201cMs. Jackson may bring a motion for her reasonable attorneys\u2019 fees and costs under the common fund theory for her meritorious objection to the executors\u2019 fee petition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In a statement, attorneys for Jackson\u2019s estate declared that while they \u201cdisagree with the decision, we fully respect it.\u201d They also shared that they \u201cplan to move forward accordingly.\u201d Furthermore, a spokesperson for Paris revealed to the outlet that she \u201chas always been focused on what\u2019s best for her family.\u201d The statement added that \u201cthis ruling is a massive win for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The 28-year-old is one of the beneficiaries of her father\u2019s estate alongside her siblings Prince and Bigi. Last month, Paris accused McClain and Branca of abusing their roles as estate executors to unlawfully fill their own pockets. She also accused them of using court filings to \u201cmock\u201d and \u201cbelittle\u201d her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Originally reported by Anwaya Mane on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1773148-michael-jackson-daughter-paris-legal-win-625k-dispute\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Mandatory;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Mandatory&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2026\/05\/14\/michael-jackson-daughter-paris-legal-win-625k-dispute\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Michael Jackson\u2019s Daughter Paris Gets Victory in $625K Legal Dispute;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Michael Jackson\u2019s Daughter Paris Gets Victory in $625K Legal Dispute&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Michael Jackson\u2019s Daughter Paris Gets Victory in $625K Legal Dispute<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Reality Tea;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Reality Tea&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paris Jackson, daughter of Michael Jackson, secured a major victory in a $625K legal dispute.
