Legal tussle between Lisa's mother and daughter

Following the passing of Lisa, a legal dispute arose concerning her substantial estate, involving her daughter Riley Keough and Priscilla. After an extended period of conflict, a proposed settlement was submitted to the Los Angeles Superior Court in June. As part of the agreement, Priscilla ultimately relinquished control of her late daughter's estate to Keough. The settlement outlined that Keough would assume the role of the sole trustee of the estate once she approved the terms.

Furthermore, Priscilla would receive an undisclosed amount from the trust in exchange for withdrawing her petition, which contested the authenticity and validity of a 2016 amendment to Lisa Marie's will. This amendment had removed Priscilla as a co-trustee and designated Keough for that position instead.
