Priscilla Presley and Riley Keough to Settle Dispute Over Family Trust
For months, the actress Riley Keough has remained silent about the legal dispute brewing between her and her grandmother, Priscilla Presley, over control of the Presley family trust. Even as reports of family tension have surfaced, which Ms. Presley has tried to tamp down, Ms. Keough had not publicly weighed in.
That silence largely continued on Tuesday as lawyers for Ms. Keough and Ms. Presley announced at a hearing in Los Angeles that the parties had reached a settlement in the matter, but that the details would remain confidential.
The judge, Lynn Scaduto, set a June 12 deadline for the lawyers to file additional petitions, including a motion to have the settlement agreement filed under seal, and set an Aug. 4 hearing date at which to formally approve the deal.
“The family is happy, unified, together, and is excited for the future,” Ronson J. Shamoun, a lawyer for Ms. Presley said after the hearing.
