MJ's Estate Seeks to Pay For Janet's Las Vegas Condo

The Michael Jackson Estate wants to pay for a portion of Janet Jackson's mortgage on her posh Las Vegas condo ... TMZ has learned.

The Estate filed documents asking the Probate judge to foot a portion of the bill on Janet's mortgage. Sources tell us ... Katherine Jackson has spent time at the condo and the Estate is willing to pay a pro rata share of the mortgage based on how much Katherine uses Janet's Vegas crib.

A hearing is pending on the Estate's request, which was filed before the whole Arizona thing.

Two interesting things.

-- Thing 1. Given that Janet has become an arch enemy of the Estate, it's kind of a smart move to co-opt her by partially footing the bill.

-- Thing 2. This all may amount to nothing, because we're told Katherine isn't speaking to Janet, so it's unlikely she'll be sleeping in Janet's bed anytime soon.

:unsure:

Yet Janet just made TMZ retract a false story recently... You were saying Gameisha??? :coffee:

Not doubting the estate wants to (or wanted) to foot part of the bill, but I'm not here for the "Katherine isn't speaking to Janet" BS. :rolleyes:

this story is no longer there, too. tumblr_m4dko1PJpj1rwcb8xo1_100.gif

I think it's true, but Janet doesn't want her personal business out (like duh! :sigh: ). It seems like MJ's estate is trying to do damage control to make it seem like they're good guys only to prove that Janet's not after money (like Slolove said). #TeamJanet (sometimes I think Janet has the most sane stans compared to other legends from her time)

TMZ corrected their story once again mentioning that Katherine asked for the Estate to pay for Janet's mortgage (home in Las Vegas) -

KATHERINE JACKSON

Wants Estate to Pay for TP

Not Janet's Mortgage

EXCLUSIVE

We have more info on Katherine Jackson's request for the Michael Jackson Estate to pay for expenses related to Janet Jackson's Las Vegas home, and it turns out toilet paper -- NOT mortgages -- is on her mind.

As we previously reported, the Estate filed documents asking the court to allow the Executors to pay Katherine for "expenses relating to .... a residence in Las Vegas."

We're told the residence is Janet Jackson's home. Fact is ... there's no need to cover any mortgage expenses, because we're told Janet doesn't have a mortgage -- she owns the home outright, but never spends time there. In fact, we're told she bought the home so Katherine could use it. And, she has provided various other forms of support for Katherine over the years. So what we reported initially -- that the Estate would pay part of the mortgage -- isn't the case.

Sources connected to Katherine now tell us, Katherine wants the money because she incurs various expenses when she spends time at Janet's property. Our sources say the expenses include, food, cable, utilities, Internet, travel and even toilet paper.

It's unclear why Katherine feels she's entitled to more money for things like food and toilet paper, because what she consumes and uses in Vegas she doesn't in L.A.

From Janet's lawyer -

From Entertainment Tonight:

Janet Didn't Ask Jackson Estate to Pay Mortgage

Janet Jackson's lawyer is speaking out about a report claiming that the Estate of Michael Jackson filed documents in the probate court requesting that the estate be permitted to "foot a portion of the bill on Janet's mortgage on her posh Las Vegas condo."

According to her lawyer Blair Brown, Janet's Las Vegas home has never even had a mortgage, and she purchased the home outright 10 years ago for her mother Katherine Jackson's use. Furthermore, Janet has "provided financial support unconditionally to her mother before and after Michael's death and will continue to do so," her representative states.

Brown says that any implication that Jackson has demanded any payments from the estate, or needs payments from the estate, are "false and outrageous."

"She is a successful artist and very high net worth individual who has never had financial problems. She has no need for any such payments from the estate," Brown states.

The Jackson family recently made headlines for their ongoing dispute over the validity of Michael Jackson's will -- which leaves everything in the pop star's lucrative estate to Katherine and his children. Five of Michael's siblings recently claimed that Michael's will was fake and they have demanded that the executors of his estate should resign.
