Riley Keough is set to become the sole trustee of Lisa Marie Presley‘s estate, according to new legal documents filed on Monday in Los Angeles.
In the docs obtained by ET, Riley petitions the court to approve the settlement agreement reached between her, her grandmother, Priscilla Presley, and Michael Lockwood, the Guardian Ad Litem for her two younger siblings. The settlement terms will see Riley serve as the sole trustee of her mother’s estate and the sub-trusts for her sisters, 14-year-old twins Harper and Finley Lockwood.
Riley will not charge for her services as trustee, which her lawyer, Justin Gold, writes “will save money that would have gone to Priscilla who was going to charge a trustee fee.” Her lawyer also states in the docs that Riley intends to safeguard and invest the money “in a manner consistent with the needs of the beneficiaries, and not influenced by the desire of a Trustee.”
The docs also confirm that a life insurance policy existed at the time of Lisa Marie’s death.
For her part, Priscilla will serve as Trustee of the sub-trust for her son — Lisa Marie’s half-brother, Navarone Garibaldi — who will be granted 1/9 of the Trust. The remaining 8/9 of the Trust will be split among Lisa Marie’s daughters — Riley, Finley and Harper.
Additionally, Priscilla will receive a lump sum, one-time payment from the Trust for an undisclosed amount. Priscilla was removed as trustee of Lisa Marie’s estate on May 11, 2023. Per the docs, this change is binding from the moment she signed the settlement agreement, whether it is approved in court or not. The new docs reveal that Priscilla will now serve as a “Special Advisor to the Trust,” with Riley paying her an undisclosed monthly amount for the role.
