The executors of Michael Jackson's estate are demanding cash for the work they have carried out since his death in June.
John Branca and John McClain have filed legal papers asking for the fees they have earned so far, pending court approval of the full amount, according to TMZ.com.
The pair also want unspecified fees "for their extraordinary services".
Although the documents do not specify the amount Branca and McClain ask for, they are entitled to a $188,000 (£117,500) fee for the first $25 million (£15.6 million) of the Thriller icon's estate.
A hearing has been scheduled for 4th January to decide how much can be paid out.
