Priscilla Presley contests validity of Lisa Marie Presley's will
Priscilla Presley is challenging the validity of her late daughter Lisa Marie Presley's will.
According to a court filing, attorneys for Priscilla Presley filed a petition disputing a 2016 amendment to her daughter's will.
The petition states that Lisa Marie Presley removed her mother and her former business manager, Barry Siegel, as co-trustees and replaced them with her children Riley and Benjamin Keough. Benjamin Keough later died in 2020.

The petition alleges that, among other issues surrounding the amendment, Priscilla Presley did not receive the amendment while her daughter was alive as required by her Trust and that the document misspells Priscilla's name.
The petition also alleges the amendment was not witnessed or notarised and questions the authenticity Lisa Marie's signature.
"[The signature] appears inconsistent with [Lisa Marie Presley's] usual and customary signature," the documents state.
Representatives for Priscilla Presley and Lisa Marie Presley's estate have been contacted for comment.
The petition comes just days after Elvis Presley's only child was laid to rest at his former residence, Graceland.
Lisa Marie Presley died on January 12 after being hospitalised following an apparent cardiac arrest at her Los Angeles home.
She was 54.
Her cause of death is pending further investigation by the Los Angeles County Coroner.
