Description
Three of the biggest names in American music. Three enormous estates. Three estate planning disasters that played out in court for all of us to see. In this three-part series, we will look at what really went wrong for Prince, Aretha Franklin, and Lisa Marie Presley — and what each story can teach the rest of us about protecting our own families. Each sixty-minute session takes one celebrity and one practical lesson, told in plain English with California-specific guidance throughout. No prior legal knowledge required. Bring your popcorn. Leave with a checklist.
Session 3 — Lisa Marie Presley. After Elvis’s only daughter died in 2023, her own mother went to court to challenge a trust amendment she insisted she had never received — and that misspelled her name. We will use the case to look at how trusts get amended in California, why a finished plan still needs care and feeding.
