Things have dramatically escalated in the legal battle between Priscilla Presley and granddaughter Riley Keough. According to new reports, Riley had the locks changed on her late grandfather Elvis Presley's famed Graceland estate in Tennessee as part of the pair's ongoing battle over Lisa Marie Presley's $34 million estate.
Family insiders say Riley traveled to Memphis to lock down her grandfather's historic estate.
Sources have spoken to RadarOnline about the ongoing rift between Priscilla and her 33-year-old granddaughter. The latest installment of the family drama seems to have been sparked by Riley, who reportedly "changed the locks on the upstairs doors and archives" at Graceland, essentially barring Priscilla from the rooms.
All of this is coming to a head after Priscilla contested her late daughter's will.
Lisa Marie shocked fans when she collapsed at her home in January, ultimately dying from cardiac arrest. In the days and weeks that followed, a legal battle began to unfold behind closed doors, after Priscilla contested an amendment that had been made to her daughter's will without her knowledge.
Priscilla was unaware that she had been removed as executor of her daughter's will.
According to early reports, Lisa Marie had her will amended in 2016 and removed her mother from the legal document. Instead, she replaced Priscilla (and her business manager) with her two oldest children, Riley and Benjamin. After Benjamin's 2020 death, Riley become the sole executor.
It sounds like there are some inconsistencies with the will.
Neither woman has spoken publicly about the legal squabble, but if rumors are to be believed, Priscilla may have some reason to be concerned. Legal paperwork filed to question the "authenticity and validity" of the amendment alleges that there are a few red flags, including the fact that Lisa Marie's name was spelled incorrectly and that the paperwork had never been notarized prior to filing, in addition to other complaints.
This may not be the only thing the two women are waging a battle over.
Another source spoke to the Daily Mirror and alleged that Riley and Priscilla "do not see eye to eye." Apparently, there have been a few dustups since Lisa Marie's death.
This has to be an incredibly difficult and emotional time for the family. Not only has Riley lost a mother and a brother within the past three years, but Pricilla's life has been peppered by loss and disappointment as well. We really hope these two are able to pull together, if not for the sake of their relationship, then for the sake of Riley's two younger sisters, 14-year-old twins Harper and Finley.
