Overview

  • Former advisers Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko filed an amended complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court alleging Priscilla placed a $494,024.49 lien on Graceland on April 29, 1977, claiming the financial pressure contributed to Elvis Presley's death that August.
  • The filing reiterates earlier claims that Priscilla withdrew Lisa Marie Presley's life support in 2023 contrary to an advance directive to prolong life, asserting a motive to regain control of trusts and the Elvis estate.
  • Plaintiffs seek more than $50 million in damages and attached exhibits said to include pages from Priscilla’s forthcoming memoir and a message from Riley Keough discussing family and estate tensions.
  • Priscilla’s attorney Marty Singer rejected the allegations as absurd and despicable and emphasized her separate elder‑abuse suit accusing Kruse and Fialko of misappropriating funds, while the plaintiffs’ lawyer said their documents speak for themselves.
  • The dispute remains active civil litigation in Los Angeles with hearings and case‑management dates pending, and no court has ruled on the new allegations.
