Elvis Presley’s granddaughter managed today to temporarily block the sale at auction of “Graceland”, the world-famous mansion in Memphis, USA, a year after the controversy that broke out over the will of the daughter of the “king” of rock and roll.

A Tennessee judge ordered the auction suspended, granting a request by Riley Keough, granddaughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, and daughter of Lisa Marie Presley.

The auction was scheduled for Thursday, but Riley Keough filed for an injunction.

The sale of the mansion “Graceland”, which has been converted into a museum and place of pilgrimage for fans of the “king” Elvis, was requested by the company Naussany Investments & Private Lending, presenting documents according to which Lisa Marie Presley had mortgaged it for a $3.8 million loan.

However, 34-year-old Riley Keough has alleged that the documents are fake.

The judge suspended the auction pending a court ruling on the authenticity of the documents.

The verdict was welcomed by Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc., which manages the mansion: “Graceland will continue, as it has for 42 years, to ensure that Elvis fans from around the world enjoy a top-notch experience when visiting this iconic home ».

On August 16, 1977 the famous singer was found there unconscious and taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead at the age of 42
