Presley v. Presley-Lockwood [Eliza Presley/Vernon’s Daughter]
In this case, the “Presley” is Eliza Presley (aka Alice Elizabeth Tiffin) and “Presley-Lockwood” is Lisa-Marie. Eliza claims she is Vernon’s illegitimate daughter and wants to be declared as such, so that she can take her share of his estate.
This case, which was pursued for a while, has now been dropped after evidence proved Eliza is not related to the Presleys. Earlier, the case was dismissed on jurisdictional grounds but Eliza was trying to find the funding to reopen the case in the correct court.
Eliza had claimed she had obtained DNA evidence from Elvis (who is still living under the name of Jessie Presley!) confirming she is Vernon Presley’s biological daughter. It also appears that Eliza, under the name Alice Elizabeth McFarland has quite a long criminal history. Her criminal records in Washington state (free) and Texas (for a fee) can be searched online.
Also, as someone who has studied legal writing, I’m pretty appalled at the quality of the documents produced by Eliza’s attorney. There are so many inconsistencies in formatting, grammar, punctuation, etc. – pretty shoddy for court documents!
Having said all that, this case is actually pretty interesting and has been documented extensively on The Probate Lawyer Blog. Below are links to these blog posts, as well as various other web pages and documents that provide details of this case.
