According to several American media outlets, the two women have not spoken to each other since Priscilla Presley decided to contest the will of her daughter Lisa Marie, who died of cardiac arrest in Los Angeles on January 12 at the age of 54.
Riley Keough is still grappling with grief for his mother and a family dispute that has become very public, according to the same source.
Priscilla Presley, believing she has a reason, no longer speaks to her granddaughter. The only contact between the two women is through lawyers.
Despite everything, the hope of an out-of-court settlement remains.
In 2010, Lisa Marie Presley appointed her mother, Priscilla, as one of the executors of her sizable estate, both during her lifetime and in the event of her death, according to court records.
But she seems to have stripped him of this quality in 2016 in order to use his children Riley and Benjamin Keough as heirs after his death.
According to a document viewed by AFP and filed in court by her attorney, Priscilla Presley “discovered” these changes only after her daughter’s recent death.
Elvis’ widow claims that this New Testament is invalid because it was never presented to her during her daughter’s lifetime. His attorney specifically points out that Lisa Marie’s signature “appears inconsistent” compared to her usual signature.
