Michael Lockwood has officially been named the guardian of his and Lisa Marie Presley’s twin daughters, Harper and Finley, in the famous family’s estate battle.According to Entertainment Tonight, a judge signed off the 61-year-old composer’s motion to represent his 14-year-old daughter’s interests in the contentious court battle during a Thursday, April 13, hearing.Us Weekly previously confirmed last month that Lockwood filed a petition to represent his children in the ongoing legal battle surrounding Presley’s will.“The minor is a beneficiary of a trust at issue before the probate court,” Lockwood, who welcomed Harper and Finley with Presley in October 2008, wrote in court documents obtained by Us. “The minor requires the appointment of a guardian ad litem to represent her interests in the proceeding.
There is no conflict regarding the appointment because the proposed guardian is not a beneficiary of the trust instrument at issue.”The “Storm & Grace” songstress, who was the only child of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley, died in January at the age of 54 after suffering cardiac arrest.
Lisa Marie is survived by her mother, Priscilla, 77, and daughters Riley Keough, Harper and Finley, with the latter three set to inherit her estate. (Lisa Marie was also the mother of son Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide in July 2020.) Priscilla, however, has since contested her late daughter’s will.
Priscilla claimed in January court documents that a 2016 amendment — which reportedly replaced her with Riley and Benjamin as the trustees — featured an invalid signature. (Lisa Marie shared Riley and Benjamin with ex-husband Danny Keough.) Priscilla claimed that the modification was forged since it was not witnessed or notarized.
