Family Dispute Over Lisa Marie Presley’s Estate Finally Resolved
The legal battle over the estate of Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis Presley, has finally come to an end in Los Angeles Superior Court. Riley Keough, Elvis’s only granddaughter, has been officially appointed as the sole trustee of the estate. This decision follows months of dispute and brings closure to the trust issues that have plagued the family since Lisa Marie’s passing.
The conflict began when Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie’s mother, challenged the authenticity of an amendment to her daughter’s trust that named Riley Keough as the sole trustee. Priscilla argued that the 2016 change to the trust, which removed her as a co-trustee, was suspicious due to inconsistencies in Lisa Marie’s signature. The settlement reached between Riley Keough and Priscilla Presley includes a lump-sum payment to Priscilla and designates her as a special adviser to the trust.
The resolution of this legal battle marks the end of a tumultuous period for the Presley family, who initially came together in grief over Lisa Marie’s passing but soon found themselves at odds over control of her estate. With Riley Keough now confirmed as the trustee, the family can finally move forward and honor Lisa Marie’s wishes for her children to inherit her estate.
The court’s decision brings closure to a complex and emotional chapter in the Presley family’s history, allowing them to focus on preserving Lisa Marie’s legacy and moving past the legal disputes that have divided them.
