Elvis Presley’s granddaughter is suing to try to keep her grandfather’s legendary Graceland estate in the King of Rock and Roll’s family.

In a lawsuit filed last week, Riley Keough asked a Shelby County, Tenn., court to stop what she called a fraudulent sale, after a lender claimed the family failed to pay back a $3.8 million loan borrowed by Keough’s mother, Lisa Marie Presley.
