Priscilla Presley Contests Late Daughter Lisa Marie Presley's Will

Lisa Marie Presley's mom, Priscilla Presley, has contested the validity of the will of her late daughter.

Elvis Presley's ex-wife, through her lawyers, filed a petition disputing a 2016 amendment to Lisa Marie's will.

In a court filing obtained by CNN, the petition stated that the late singer removed her mother Priscilla and her former business manager, Barry Siegel, as co-trustees and replaced them with her eldest children, Riley Keough, 33, and Benjamin Keough — who died in 2020 at age 27.

The petition alleged that Priscilla did not receive the amendment during her daughter's lifetime, as laid out in the terms of a 2010 trust arrangement, and that the document misspells Priscilla's name.

The filing also insisted that the 2016 amendment was never witnessed or notarized and questioned the authenticity of Lisa Marie's signature on the document.

"[The signature] appears inconsistent with [Lisa Marie Presley's] usual and customary signature," the documents claimed.

The petition insisted that based on these, the 2016 amendment "should be deemed invalid," and the 2010 trust arrangement should be considered "the controlling and authoritative document," according to the Los Angeles Times.

Representatives for Priscilla and Lisa Marie's estate did not immediately respond to CNN's requests for comment.

Priscilla and Siegel currently serve as the heads of the Promenade Trust, which was created to manage the Presley estate. The trust kept a 15% stake in Elvis Presley enterprises, which owns the singer's intellectual property, after Lisa Marie sold 85% of the company's assets for roughly $100 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Shortly after news of her filing broke, Page Six quoted an unnamed "friend" of Lisa Marie as saying that Priscilla's move to contest her daughter's will is allegedly "strictly a money grab" and that the late singer "had no relationship" with Priscilla, her ex-husband Michael Lockwood or her half-brother Navarone Garibaldi. International Business Times could not independently verify this information.

Priscilla, Lockwood and Garibaldi are being represented by the same publicist, Caroline Galloway, in a bid to discredit the amendment in Lisa Marie's will, the outlet claimed.

Galloway and Priscilla's attorney did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment.

Lisa Marie died on Jan. 12 after being hospitalized following an apparent cardiac arrest at her home in Los Angeles. She was 54.

Days before her passing, she attended the 2023 Golden Globes with her mother Priscilla.

Lisa Marie's cause of death has not yet been announced.

She was laid to rest on Jan. 22 at her dad Elvis Presley's Graceland mansion, next to her son Benjamin.
