Priscilla Presley And Riley Keough’s Settlement Over The Late Lisa Marie Presley’s Estate Earns Judge’s Approval
Lisa Marie Presley passed away unexpectedly on January 12. Following her death, her mother, Priscilla Presley, and daughter, Riley Keough, entered a legal back-and-forth over the terms of her estate.
Priscilla and Riley reached a settlement in May. Riley was named as the sole trustee of her mother’s estate.
In August, Riley was also confirmed to be the sole heir of her grandfather Elvis‘ Graceland property in Memphis, Tennessee. It was determined she would oversee the sub-trusts established for her younger twin sisters, Harper and Finley Lockwood.
