Lives Priscilla Presley, Elvis's widow who is still living on the king of rock (and that she was not his widow)
Families The curse of Elvis Presley: his grandson commits suicide, his daughter is ruined and his ex-wife does not find love
The sudden death of Lisa Marie Presley, on January 12 at the age of 54, has sparked a
family war over her inheritance
.
Eight days after being buried in Graceland, the mansion-museum of the king of rock in an emotional ceremony, disagreements have begun to surface over the
legacy left by Elvis's only daughter
.
According to American media such as
Page Six
or
TMZ
, Priscilla, Lisa Marie's mother, has
challenged her daughter's
will, which, according to the same media, favors one of her granddaughters, Riley Keough (33) over her.
Priscilla has questioned the validity of it because
she doubts the authenticity of the signature
that appears in an
annex incorporated in 2016
, of which she was not aware.
According to these media, Priscilla Presley (77) has filed a
request with the judge for the verification to be carried out
as he claims the document was never delivered to him, the date is suspect and the document misspells Priscilla's name and Lisa Marie's signature "appears inconsistent with her usual and customary signature," according to legal documents obtained by
TMZ
.
The same American news portal, Lisa Marie, named Riley
manager
of all
its properties and finances,
with
Graceland
as the jewel in the crown, valued at 500 million dollars.
Until now, Priscilla was the manager of Lisa Marie's estate through her
trust
, so her decision to strip him of that control in favor of her granddaughter has not sat well with her.

Lisa Marie created the trust in 2010, naming her mother and her son Benjamin, who committed suicide in 2020 at age 27, as trustees.
Six years later, however, she tweaked it and
dropped Priscilla to name Riley, Benjamin's sister, in her place.
Riley and Benjamin were born from the relationship of Elvis's daughter with actor
Danny Keough
(58), whom she divorced in 1994. In that annex to the will, Lisa Marie also eliminated her former manager, Barry Siegel,
whom she accused of having ruined

Riley has two other sisters,
the 14-year-old twins Harper and Finley,
born from Lisa Marie's last marriage to guitarist Michael Lockwood, which broke up in 2021. They are also heirs to their mother's fortune even though, being Minors will have to be supervised.
Another front could also be opened there because, in addition to her father, Priscilla could have claimed guardianship of her granddaughters.
