Court documents obtained by The Blast show that a judge sided with Lisa Marie seeking to shut down subpoenas relating to her bank records, specifically relating to her Elvis Presley inheritance. After the hearing, the judge orders that Lisa only has to turn over bank records prior to 2016. Additionally, she will not have to produce any bank statements from February 26, 2016, until now.

The truth behind Lisa Marie Presley's inheritance from Elvis Barry Siegel / Facebook The two have been fighting over subpoenas by Siegel to Deutsche Bank, seeking Presley’s bank records. Barry says he was seeking “the production of confidential financial records and/or the financial records of the Promenade Trust.” The Promenade Trust was allegedly created to hold the money that Lisa Marie receives from Elvis's estate. Lisa Marie, as a result, objects the subpoenas and says that Barry was only trying to get years of bank records in an attempt to embarrass her. She takes issue with the fact that the lawsuit only specifies the years 1993 to 2006, mostly 2004 until 2006. Lisa would work with the business manager from 1993 to 2006.
