The company at the center of a battle over Elvis’ Graceland is a mystery

Riley Keough, one of Elvis Presley’s granddaughters, alleged a company seeking a foreclosure sale of Graceland is trying to defraud the family. A search of public records databases doesn’t turn up any sign of the company.

Keough filed a claim last week in Shelby County Chancery Court in Tennessee alleging that Naussany Investments & Private Lending had submitted fraudulent documents with forged signatures showing Lisa Marie Presley had put up Graceland to secure the loan. A follow-up email from the Kurt Naussany address Monday night said he knew Lisa Marie Presley for years and “never did any loans for her.” The message added, “please make sure you and all colleagues have names straight.” Mark Sunderman, a real estate professor at the University of Memphis, said accusations of fraud and fly–by-night companies are common in property-rights disputes — particularly when they involve people who have died.
