Lisa Marie Presley had not even been in her final resting place for a week before a family war over her estate burst into the public domain.
Her mother Priscilla, 77, last week filed documents in the Los Angeles Superior Court contesting a "purported 2016 amendment" to her 54-year-old daughter's will that cut her out of the estate, naming Lisa's daughter Riley, 33, and late son Ben - who died by suicide aged 27 in 2020-as sole beneficiaries.
SHOCK ALLEGATIONS
Priscilla reportedly questions the validity of the document, alleging that the signature "appears inconsistent with Lisa's usual and customary signature", adding that her name had been spelled wrong. The move will pit grandmother firmly against granddaughter, after they buried Lisa together next to Elvis at Graceland on 22 January.
Insiders tell Woman's Day exclusively that the cracks had already begun to show at the funeral, with Priscilla, her son Navarone Garibaldi and Lisa's ex-husband Michael Lockwood arriving on one private jet, and Riley and her husband Ben Smith-Petersen touching down in Memphis separately.
“Priscilla and Riley barely looked at each other the whole time,” says a mourner at the funeral. “The tension between them was palpable.”
A New York Post source claims Priscilla’s court move is “nothing but a money grab” for herself, Navarone, 35, and Michael, 61.
