MJ Estate Challenges Michael's Mom
12/10/2010 11:37 AM PST by TMZ Staff  

The Michael Jackson estate has laid down the gauntlet by demanding that Katherine Jackson's business partner immediately stop exploiting MJ's image -- or else!!!

Howard Mann -- the guy who had been partnering with Katherine on numerous MJ ventures including her book "Never Can Say Goodbye" -- is now the target of a cease and desist letter ... obtained by TMZ.

The executors -- who until now have tolerated Mann's business ventures with Katherine -- have been pushed over the line and are demanding that Mann stop using MJ's image on banners to promote tonight's "Unveiling of the Jackson Secret Vault Lithographic Collection" in Beverly Hills.

In fact, Katherine herself is scheduled to make an appearance at the event ... and even sign autographs.

The cease and desist letter -- which is often the prelude to a lawsuit -- is hugely significant because it marks the first time executors, along with estate lawyer Howard Weitzman, have gone after anyone directly associated with Katherine Jackson.

As we have been reporting, Katherine's unauthorized business ventures have irritated the executors who are trying to clear up Michael Jackson's debt and turn the estate into a profitable asset for the benefit of Michael's children.

Blanca and McClain just want all the money and profits for them selves remmember they get paid about 1.2 just for handling MJ estate and they get to pay them selves first.

Yeah right they are not thinking about MJ's children,
I wish his mom had full hold over the estate.

I am not so sure that Branca and McClain are in for the money. I do think they are being paid big bucks, but it's said that the normal fee for estate executors is 25%. Branca and McClain are allegedly only asking for 10%. If you're greedy, then why not ask the normal percentage?
