MICHAEL JACKSON'S MOTHER SEEKS TO JOIN ESTATE SUIT

Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson, is asking a court to let her intervene in a lawsuit to protect her ownership stake in the Michael Jackson Co. A hearing will be held 4/17 in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Jackson contends she was designated as treasurer and assigned an ownership interest in TMJC by her son before his death. She says Jackson wanted the family to have control of his image, music catalog and legacy.

Jackson, who says she owns 10% of the Michael Jackson Co., says she had no say in deals such as Sony/ATV sale, the Immortal Tour with Cirque du Soleil, Michael Jackson’s This is It documentary, the management of Jackson’s back catalog and other deals.

The lawsuit she hopes to speak in dates back to 2013 when TMJC shareholder Qadree El-Amin sued estate executors John Branca and John McClain. Other plaintiffs in the suit—Broderick Morris, Adean King and Raymone Bain—contend they are part owners of TMJC.

"Adjudication of the parties' claims in my absence may impair or impede my ability to protect that interest," states her declaration filed with the court by attorney Ryan Baker of Baker Marquart. "For a variety of reasons, which I will further present to the court, in camera, if the court desires, I now join this action as a plaintiff to enforce my rights as one of the co-owners of TMJC."
