Unfortunately, Lisa Marie died suddenly in January 2023 at the age of 54. In the years leading up to her death, Lisa Marie had claimed to be in debt to the tune of $16 million thanks to decades of profligate spending and alleged financial mismanagement. However, even with her personal debts Lisa left behind a 15% ownership stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises and 100% ownership of Graceland mansion. Upon her death a reported $35 million worth of life insurance benefits were paid.

Priscilla briefly attempted the block Riley from being the sole heir of Lisa Marie's estate. In her petition Priscilla pointed out that her own name was misspelled at least once in the updated 2016 will AND Lisa Marie's signature was very different from previous signatures. Riley and Priscilla ultimately settled the situation out of court, with Priscilla reportedly being given a portion of Lisa Marie's $35 million life insurance payouts.
