The Graceland Title Fraud

In a headline-grabbing twist, Graceland, the world-famous home of Elvis Presley, was nearly lost in a fraudulent real estate scheme that reads more like a Hollywood thriller than real life. But the threat was very real—and it highlights a growing risk all property owners should be aware of: real estate title fraud.

The Graceland Title Fraud Explained

In 2024, a woman from Missouri, Lisa Jeanine Findley, attempted to claim Graceland by alleging that Elvis’s late daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, had defaulted on a $3.8 million loan backed by the estate. Findley presented forged documents and moved to foreclose and auction the property.

The truth? There was no loan.

Findley had fabricated the documents. Fortunately, Elvis’s granddaughter, Riley Keough, who inherited Graceland, acted quickly—filing a lawsuit and halting the fraudulent foreclosure. By early 2025, Findley had pleaded guilty to mail fraudand now faces up to 20 years in prison.
