PRISCILLA BOOTED FROM GRACELAND!
Riley changes locks after granny contested Lisa Marie’s new will
BLINDSIDED Priscilla Presley has been locked out of Graceland by her livid granddaughter Riley Keough in the latest salvo of an ugly family feud over a bizarre will by Elvis’ only child, Lisa Marie, insiders tell GLOBE.
Priscilla’s ban from the moneymaking estate came after actress Riley, who inherited Lisa Marie’s estate along with two kid sisters, made a surprise visit to Memphis “to change the locks on the upstairs doors and archives in Graceland,” spills an insider.
“Previously, Graceland archives director Angie Marchese, Priscilla and Lisa Marie had the only keys. So, Priscilla is now locked out — and she’s furious!”
The incident follows a declaration of war by Elvis’ 77-yearold ex-wife, who challenged Lisa Marie’s will following her sudden death on Jan. 12.
Priscilla is contesting a newly discovered document that cuts her out of the Presley estate while giving control to the 33-year-old Mad Max: Fury Road actress.
As GLOBE previously reported, in a legal filing in L.A. Superior Court, Priscilla disputed the validity of a secret 2016 amendment to Lisa Marie’s 2010 living trust agreement that booted her and her daughter’s former business manager Barry Siegel from their positions as trustees.
The new document names Riley and her brother, Benjamin Keough, who blew his brains out at age 27 in 2020, as co-trustees, if Lisa Marie died or became incapacitated.
Now with the passing of Ben
and Lisa Marie, Riley has sole control — if the paper holds up in court.
Furious Priscilla is challenging the declaration’s legitimacy, claiming Lisa Marie’s scrawl on the 2016 amendment “appears inconsistent with her daughter’s usual and customary signature.”
She also notes Lisa Marie’s name is misspelled and the document was never notarized or delivered to her as required by the original terms of the trust.
Priscilla wants the court to name her and Riley as co-trustees. Siegel has already resigned his post. Priscilla and her granddaughter briefly met during Lisa Marie’s funeral at Graceland on Jan. 22, but they haven’t spoken since — except through their lawyers, according to insiders.
The source adds Priscilla is doing what she feels “is right in her heart” when it comes to her late daughter’s trust.
“She is convinced the document is forged,” the mole says.
But for now, Riley rules the roost.
