Oh no. The Presley household is gearing up for a doubtlessly nasty authorized battle over Lisa Marie Presley’s property!
Greater than two weeks following the dying of the 54-year-old singer-songwriter, Priscilla Presley filed authorized paperwork contesting that she and Lisa’s former enterprise supervisor, Barry Siegal, had been eliminated because the trustees of her daughter’s property. In line with TMZ, Priscilla apparently discovered an modification to the belief, which eradicated each her and Siegal as trustees and appointed Lisa’s kids, Riley and late Benjamin Keough, as an alternative. However Priscilla is hoping to alter that quickly.
Per the courtroom paperwork, the previous spouse of Elvis Presley is questioning the validity of the modification. What makes her skeptical of its authenticity? She claims it was by no means delivered to her per the phrases of the belief, the date on the doc is suspicious because the modification was added onto a PDF on March 14, the doc misspelled her title, and Lisa Marie’s signature “seems inconsistent along with her regular and customary signature.” And on high of the whole lot, Priscilla famous within the doc that the modification was neither witnessed nor notarized.

Lisa Marie reportedly put in place a revocable residing belief on January 29, 1993 – which she later amended and restated on January 27, 2010. The courtroom submitting states:
“Lisa Marie Presley appointed her mom, Petitioner, and her former enterprise supervisor, Barry Siegel, as co-Trustees efficient as of the date of the 2010 restatement. The 2010 restatement additional supplies that Petitioner and Barry Siegel shall proceed to function co-Trustees upon Lisa Marie Presley’s subsequent incapacity and/or dying.”
Priscilla then states that she later discovered the brand new doc existed with an modification made on March 11, 2016:
“The Purported 2016 Modification eliminated and changed Petitioner [Priscilla] and Barry as each present and successor Trustees of the Belief with Lisa Marie Presley as the present Trustee and naming Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter, Riley Keough (‘Riley’), and son, Benjamin Keough (‘Benjamin’), as successor co-Trustees of the Belief upon Lisa Marie Presley’s incapacity and/or 10 dying. There are a lot of points surrounding the authenticity and validity of the Purported 2016 Modification.”
So what does this all imply precisely? Nicely, issues are about to get difficult! Since Lisa lower ties with Siegal in 2018 for allegedly mismanaging her funds and her son Ben died by suicide in 2020, this makes Riley the only real trustee of the property – that means Priscilla can be solely going up in opposition to her personal granddaughter for the belief. Plus, the 77-year-old is asking for the courtroom to make the modification invalid – which may take away the Daisy Jones and The Six star’s energy as trustee if issues swing Priscilla’s method. Principally, that is going to get very messy and ugly between Priscilla and Riley! One thing we might hate to see occur, contemplating they’re going by way of such a troublesome time of their lives following Lisa’s dying!
