Presley Estate Battle Heats Up: Lockwood Seeks Funds, Keough Counters with Loan Dispute
The Presley estate continues to be entangled in legal battles, with both Lisa Marie Presley’s ex-husband, Michael Lockwood, and her daughter, actress Riley Keough, embroiled in separate financial disputes. Lockwood is reportedly demanding $153,000 from Keough to cover his legal fees stemming from the ongoing fight over Presley’s will. This comes amidst reports that Keough is contesting a hefty loan taken out by her late mother.
Details of the loan Keough disputes are unclear, but it adds another layer of complexity to the already contentious situation surrounding Presley’s estate. Presley passed away unexpectedly in January 2023. She had a tumultuous relationship with Lockwood, her fourth husband, and their divorce in 2016 was reportedly acrimonious. Lockwood is seeking spousal support and a share of Presley’s estate.
Keough, the only child of Presley and her first husband Danny Keough, is presumed to be the primary inheritor of the estate. However, these latest developments indicate a potentially messy legal battle on the horizon.
