The executors of MICHAEL JACKSON's estate are embroiled in a legal battle with a tribute band - over the right to use the name of the King of Pop's Neverland ranch.

Lawyers for the estate recently contacted a Jackson tribute band called Neverland and demanded they change the title, insisting the group's name violates a trademark relating to the late superstar's former home in California.

The bandmembers changed their name to Foreverland, but they still own the rights to a web domain called Neverlandsf.com, and have offered to hand the web address back to the estate for a payment of $30,000 (????20,000), according to TMZ.com.

Attorneys representing the estate have refused the deal and have ordered the band to abandon the domain name by February 2011. (LR/WNWCZM/ZN)
