The Michael Jackson Estate

The Michael Jackson Estate is the legal entity that manages Michael Jackson’s intellectual property, including his music, image, and brand rights, after his death in 2009. It oversees licensing, publishing, and merchandise to generate revenue while preserving his legacy. The estate is typically controlled by executors appointed by Jackson during his lifetime or by his heirs, ensuring his creative works are protected and legally managed. This arrangement allows fans, companies, and media to use Jackson’s work appropriately and financially benefit from his artistic contributions.
