Claim 3: “Priscilla filed court documents alleging there were 'issues surrounding the authenticity and validity' of a 2016 amendment that appointed Keough and her half-sisters Harper and Finley Lockwood—as well as brother Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide in 2020 at the age of 27—as the estate's heirs.”

Claim 6: “The court sign-off concludes a legal dispute over Lisa Marie's will, which Priscilla Presley—Elvis' ex-wife and Lisa Marie's mom—brought into question following the singer's death in January at age 54.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Lisa Marie Presley's Wikipedia confirms her death on January 12, 2023, which aligns with the claim that she was 54 years old at the time. However, there is no evidence provided about Priscilla challenging the will, so the claim's second part remains unverified.
