The notary has sworn that the notary did not notarize the signature of Lisa Marie Presley on the deed of trust, which brings into question the authenticity of the signature,” Chancellor JoeDae Jenkins stated in adjourning the sale of Graceland during a brief hearing on Wednesday that lasted about eight minutes.
The hearing on Wednesday in Tennessee was set to determine whether a dubious entity could proceed with an advertised plan to auction off the late singer’s estate in Memphis.
Actress Riley Keough, Presley’s granddaughter, was trying to stop a company called Naussany Investments and Private Lending LLC from conducting an auction outside the Shelby County Courthouse on Thursday at noon.
Keough is alleging the company presented fraudulent documents last September “purporting to show that Lisa Marie Presley had borrowed $3.8 million from Naussany Investments and gave a deed of trust encumbering Graceland as security,”Public notice for the foreclosure sale of the property was posted earlier this month. The notice alleged that Promenade Trust, which controls the Graceland estate at 3734 Elvis Presley Blvd. in Memphis, owed $3.8 million to Naussany Investments and Private Lending after failing to repay a loan taken out by Lisa Marie Presley on May 16, 2018. Naussany says Graceland was used as collateral on the loan.
