The messy fight to see who really owns Elvis' Graceland is over

• The company that insisted it owned the rights to Graceland told the AP it is withdrawing its claim.
• Elvis Presley's granddaughter Riley Keough had accused the company of fraud and forging documents.
• Just hours after a judge ruled in Keough's favor, the legal battle is over. 

A bizarre legal battle over who actually owns Elvis Presley's Graceland estate came to an end on Wednesday, leaving the iconic site in the hands of the King of Rock and Roll's family.

The company insisting it owned the deed to Graceland said it'll withdraw its claim on the estate, the Associated Press reported.

Hours earlier, a Tennessee court had ruled in favor of Elvis' granddaughter, actor Riley Keough, who had been fighting to keep the property.

Keough became the owner of the 13.8-acre Memphis property and trustee of Promenade Trust, which operates the estate, after her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, died in January 2023.

The saga started when a company called Naussany Investments and Private Lending said it owned the deed to the property and announced plans last week to auction it off.

The company said that Lisa Marie Presley had taken out a $3.8 million dollar loan from Naussany, using the estate as collateral. Naussany alleged it had the right to sell the property for repayment after Presley never paid them back.

But Keough sued Naussany, accusing the creditor of forging the signatures that purportedly gave it the deed to Graceland.

"While the documents bear signatures that look like the signatures of Lisa Marie Presley, Lisa Marie Presley did not, in fact, sign the documents," the lawsuit says.

"These documents are fraudulent," Keough's lawsuit alleges. "Lisa Marie Presley never borrowed money from Naussany Investments and never gave a deed of trust to Naussany Investments."

The lawsuit also argues that Naussany isn't a real company.

"Naussany Investments & Private Lending LLC appears to be a false entity created for the purpose of defrauding the Promenade Trust, the heirs of Lisa Marie Presley, or any purchaser of Graceland at a non-judicial sale," the suit continues.

Naussany said in an email to the AP that it would be "withdrawing all claims with prejudice." Naussany told the AP that it was dropping the case because both the loan and a critical document had been filed in another state, meaning the company would have to take legal action in multiple states.

"As the court has now made clear, there was no validity to the claims," a spokesperson for Graceland told Business Insider. "There will be no foreclosure. Graceland will continue to operate as it has for the past 42 years, ensuring that Elvis fans from around the world can continue to have a best in class experience when visiting his iconic home."

Lawyers for Keough declined to comment on the situation.
