The Presley Family Legal Feud: A Look at the Bitter Battles Post Lisa Marie’s Death
The Presley family has been embroiled in a bitter legal battle following the death of Lisa Marie Presley, the only daughter of the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. Lisa Marie passed away last year at the age of 54, sparking a feud between her mother, Priscilla Presley, and her daughter, Riley Keough.
Lisa Marie inherited her father’s iconic Graceland estate after his death in 1977, which was later opened to the public as a museum. However, tensions arose just days after Lisa Marie’s funeral when Priscilla challenged her daughter’s living will, leading to a legal battle with Riley, who became the sole heir of the property.
The feud escalated with allegations of forged documents and disputes over the will. Priscilla and Riley eventually reached a settlement in May 2023, with Priscilla receiving a lump-sum payment and the assurance of being buried near her ex-husband, Elvis, at Graceland.
Despite the resolution between Priscilla and Riley, legal battles continue over the Graceland property. Riley is challenging a foreclosure auction of the estate, claiming that her mother did not borrow money from the company listed in the legal notice. A temporary injunction was issued to block the auction, with Riley alleging fraudulent practices in the loan documents.
The Presley family has faced numerous challenges, including addiction issues that have plagued several members. Navarone, Priscilla’s son, recently spoke out about his fentanyl addiction, highlighting the family’s struggles with substance abuse. The tragic deaths of Lisa Marie and her son Benjamin, as well as Elvis’s history of drug use, have added to the family’s tumultuous legacy.
The legal battles and personal struggles within the Presley family have captivated the public’s attention, shedding light on the complexities of fame, fortune, and family dynamics.
