A Missouri woman was charged Friday for an alleged scheme to defraud Elvis Presley’s family and steal his Graceland estate, the Justice Department announced, following multiple legal disputes over the property’s ownership after the death of Presley’s daughter Lisa Marie last year.Key Facts
Lisa Jeanine Findley, 53, posed as multiple associates of a fake private lender named Naussany Investments & Private Lending LLC, which falsely claimed ownership of the Graceland mansion after Lisa Marie, who Findley said pledged the property as collateral for a $3.8 million loan to the bogus lender, died last year, the DOJ said.
Riley Keough, Lisa Marie’s oldest child and Presley’s granddaughter, immediately contested Naussany Investments’ claim to Graceland when the firm attempted to put the estate up for auction in May, arguing in a lawsuit the company wasn’t real and produced falsified documents detailing Lisa Marie’s loan.
