The Latest on Michael Jackson's Estate - Is Nephew Taj Jackson in Charge?

By , About.com Guide   November 30, 2009

Follow me on:

Recently it has been reported that Taj Jackson, the 36-year old son of Tito Jackson and nephew of Michael, has been given a say in the administration of his uncle's estate. Rumor has it that the real reason why Katherine Jackson so suddenly dropped her objections to the appointment of John Branca and John McClain as permanent co-executors of her son's estate is because Branca and McClain have agreed to allow Taj to be the voice of Michael Jackson's three children, Michael Joseph "Prince" Jackson, Jr., Paris Katherine Michael Jackson, and Prince Michael "Blanket" Jackson II, with regard to future projects and business deals involving Jackson's estate.

This move actually makes sense since Katherine Jackson is not familiar with the music business and Taj Jackson, who was a member of the 1990's boy band 3T, currently works as a music producer and should therefore be quite familiar with the inner workings of music deals. However, the informal promotion of Taj to co-executor has apparently infuriated Michael's father, Joe Jackson, who plans to continue his challenge of the validity of his son's 2002 Last Will and Testament and the appointment of Branca and McClain.
