The tension inside the Presley family appears to be getting worse. Priscilla, the late Elvis Presley’s ex-wife, is rumored to have been “locked out” by her granddaughter Riley Keough for objecting to a change made to Lisa Marie’s will, according to RadarOnline.com.
Sources think Keough went to Memphis to “change the locks on the upstairs doors and archives” and that Priscilla has been temporarily prohibited from the opulent estate.
“The only people with keys before were Angie Marchese, director of the Graceland Archives, Priscilla, and Lisa Marie. Thus, Priscilla is now shut out and is enraged!”
RadarOnline.com has gotten in touch with the reps of Priscilla and Riley to request a response.
When Priscilla’s attorneys filed a petition contesting the “authenticity and validity” of an amendment to Lisa Marie’s living trust from 2016 that included the Graceland residence and a 15% stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises, the tension seemed to reach an all-time high following the memorial service for Elvis’ only child (EPE).
All of Lisa Marie’s children with Danny Keough received ownership rights as a result of the revision, which also removed Priscilla and Lisa Marie’s former business manager Barry Siegel as cotrustees and transferred the rights to Keough and Lisa Marie’s late son Benjamin, who committed suicide in 2020.
According to Priscilla, Lisa Marie’s handwriting on the document “appears dissonant with her daughter’s regular and customary signature.” She further emphasized that the document was never notarized or given to her as required and that Lisa Marie’s name is misspelled.
Mitra Ahouraian, a lawyer for the entertainment industry, said of Priscilla: “Priscilla would wish to keep control of this trust in order to honestly protect the interests of the children.”
According to Ahouraian, the twins, who are 14 years old, is another consideration when it comes to Lisa Marie’s other children from her fourth marriage to Michael Lockwood.
There is a $35 million life insurance policy that would benefit the children, according to Ahouraian, who spoke to Entertainment Tonight. That’s a lot of money, and if it’s not managed properly, it might potentially go very rapidly.
According to Lisa Marie’s advisers, the three daughters of Lisa Marie are now in charge of the King of Rock’s inheritance. Priscilla and her granddaughter are reportedly both furious about the circumstance for distinct reasons.
The Star Wars actress believes she is “seeing a new side of her grandmother” and is “not yearning for a dispute,” according to insiders who talked to Page Six. Priscilla and Keough haven’t been speaking as a result.
