Elvis Presley’s granddaughter, Riley Keough, is fighting to protect her family’s legacy as she takes legal action against a company attempting to auction off the famed Graceland estate. Keough, who now owns the 13.8-acre property where her family members are buried, filed a lawsuit alleging that the documents used by Naussany Investments & Private Lending to justify the sale are forgeries.
The filing reveals that Naussany claimed Keough’s mother, Lisa Marie Presley, had borrowed $3.8 million in 2018 and used Graceland as collateral. Keough adamantly asserts that these documents are fake, pointing out discrepancies such as language that didn’t exist at the time of Presley’s supposed signature and a notary who confirmed she never met Presley.
Kurt Naussany, the individual named in the filing, denied any involvement with the company since 2015 and claimed he should not be included in the legal action. Despite this, Naussany proceeded with public notices of the foreclosure sale and scheduled an auction for the historic property.
However, Keough’s efforts to halt the auction were successful as a Memphis judge granted a temporary restraining order, freezing the sale. An injunction hearing is set for Wednesday to further address the dispute over the authenticity of the documents and the legitimacy of Naussany Investments & Private Lending.
The battle over Graceland continues to unfold as Keough fights to protect her family’s history and preserve the iconic estate for future generations.
