The Final Chapter: The Estate Battle and Riley Keough as Sole Trustee
Following Lisa Marie's death, a dramatic legal dispute erupted over her will and the control of the Promenade Trust, which holds the ownership of Graceland. The battle pitted her mother, Priscilla Presley, against her eldest daughter, actress Riley Keough.
The core of the dispute was an amendment to Lisa Marie’s 2010 will. This amendment, which removed Priscilla and her former business manager, Barry Siegel, as co-trustees and named Riley and her late brother, Benjamin Keough, as co-trustees, was contested by Priscilla.
The October 2023 Settlement: A Definitive End
The protracted, public legal battle finally concluded with a definitive settlement. In a Los Angeles Superior Court in October 2023, a judge officially approved the agreement, bringing the contentious dispute to an end.
The key outcomes of the settlement firmly established Riley Keough's control over her mother’s legacy:
- Riley Keough was named the sole trustee of the Promenade Trust, which includes the Graceland property and Elvis Presley's intellectual property.
- Priscilla Presley received a significant financial payout, reportedly a lump sum, in exchange for dropping her legal challenge.
- Sub-trusts were created to benefit Lisa Marie’s minor twin daughters, Finley and Harper Lockwood, ensuring their financial security.
- Priscilla was granted the right to be buried at Graceland’s Meditation Garden, near Elvis, Lisa Marie, and Benjamin Keough.
This resolution ensures that the majority of the Presley family's assets, including the iconic Graceland mansion, remain within the direct line of Lisa Marie's children, securing the future of the estate for the next generation.
The Final Health Crisis: Cause of Death and the Bariatric Surgery Link
The circumstances surrounding Lisa Marie Presley's sudden death at the age of 54 were a major shock to the world. The official coroner’s report provided clarity on the tragic final moments of her life, revealing a link to a previous medical procedure.
Small Bowel Obstruction (SBO)
The official cause of death was determined to be a small bowel obstruction. This is a condition where the small intestine is blocked, preventing food and fluids from passing through.
The obstruction was caused by adhesions—scar tissue—that developed after a previous bariatric surgery, a procedure often used for weight loss. The coroner’s report noted that she had complained of abdominal pain in the days leading up to her passing. This tragic, yet relatively common, complication of bariatric surgery sadly claimed the life of Elvis's only child.
Bombshell Allegations: The John Travolta 'Egg Donation' Lawsuit
In one of the most sensational and bizarre pieces of news emerging in late 2024 and early 2025, a lawsuit was filed containing explosive claims about Lisa Marie Presley and the family of actor John Travolta.
The lawsuit, filed in mid-December, alleges that Lisa Marie Presley donated her eggs to John Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston, so they could conceive a child. The claim suggests that Travolta's youngest son, Benjamin, could potentially be Elvis Presley's "secret great-grandchild."
It is crucial to note that these are unproven allegations made within a legal filing, and the credibility of the lawsuit is highly questionable, often appearing in tabloid reports. However, the mere existence of the claim has sent shockwaves through the entertainment world, further illustrating the complex and often dramatic life Lisa Marie led, even in death. Conflicting reports even suggest the egg donor was Riley Keough, not Lisa Marie, adding to the confusion and sensationalism of the claim.
The story is a stark reminder that the life of a Presley is never truly private, with new, often unbelievable, details continually surfacing, ensuring that Lisa Marie Presley's legacy remains a topic of intense global discussion for years to come.
