Elvis Presley’s granddaughter, actress Riley Keough, is attempting to halt the proposed sale of Graceland, the late singer’s home in Memphis, Tennessee.

Keough inherited the mansion and much of Presley's estate after her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, died last year.

However, Graceland is now at the centre of a dispute with a company that says the compound was used as collateral in a $3.8m (£3m) loan that was taken out by Lisa Marie but never paid back.

Hmm

[SaveFerris]

Seems like Elvis and JFK, Jr. should come up out of Cuba and try to stop this.

[redgolum]

Interesting allegations.

Such things do happen, but to try to it with Graceland is odd.

[Sacajaweau]

Riley didn’t pay attention when the attorney for the estate told her about it. No way she didn’t know. She just ignored it.

[Sacajaweau]

Nothing is stopping her from going to the auction. Bet she tried to sell it a few times.

The place is in Memphis and should be burned to the ground rather than be exploited by the corrupt Blacks running the place

[Cronos]

Elvis Presley Enterprises, which runs Graceland and the assets of the Elvis Presley Trust, alleges that the loan never took place and that Lisa Marie never gave her signature.

In a statement, the group said: "Elvis Presley Enterprises can confirm that these claims are fraudulent. There is no foreclosure sale. Simply put, the counter lawsuit has been filed is to stop the fraud."

Blackrock will buy it and make it Section 8 housing

Blacks?

Are they people or mere colors?

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

That house is literally in the ghetto. No pun intended.

[napscoordinator]

I’m sorry but 3.8 million shouldn’t be that hard to pay for the granddaughter of Elvis. She’s got to be worth a lot.

[Hyman Roth]

Does it come with the PB and Nanner sandwich recipe?

[Dilbert San Diego]

Really? How sad that Elvis’ mansion is in a bad neighborhood.

[heartwood]

Saw on CBS, the purported notary public is denying that the document was witnessed or signed by him.

[UnwashedPeasant]

"Keough alleges that the paperwork on the loan is fraudulent and that her mother's signature was forged."

The granddaughter never heard of the alleged loan, supposedly taken by her mother. It could certainly be loan/title fraud taking advantage of the mother's untimely death. I hear radio commercials saying this type of fraud is surprisingly easy.

[Round Earther]

Riley must be all shook up.

[newfreep]

Will she proudly be driving to the auction in a Yugo?

Axin’ for a friend.

[Bob434]

They can burn it down but whatever they do, they better lay off those blue suede shoes-

[blackdog]

Reverse mortgage living means you sold your house years ago. It is happening all over Memphis. Familial squatters put new doors and locks on, and it will be ten years to get em out. What’s left, you wouldn’t want.

Jimmy Hoffa, too. And Bigfoot.
