Stoking more controversy, the 78-year-old had challenged “the authenticity and validity” of a “purported 2016 amendment” to Lisa Marie’s trust just four days after her memorial service in Memphis. The late singer had named Riley and Benjamin as co-trustees after allegedly removing Priscilla and her former business manager, Barry Siegel, as beneficiaries. Riley later came forward in defense of her grandmother, clarifying that the legal disagreement was “misconstrued” to the public.
