Lisa Marie Presley's surviving three children will inherit Graceland, the iconic mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, which her father purchased over 60 years ago.

The only child of Elvis and Priscilla Presley died Thursday, January 12, at the age of 54, her agent said in a statement to Insider. Following her passing, a representative for Graceland has confirmed that the property will stay in the Presley family.

The home, which has been operating as a museum since 1982 and spans more than 13 acres, was passed down to Lisa Marie following her father's untimely death at the age of 42 in 1977. 

Per People, the Memphis mansion — which is looked after by a trust — will now go to Riley Keough, 33, and 14-year-old twins, Harper and Finley Lockwood.

Speaking in an interview over a decade ago, Lisa Marie made clear her intentions to have the mansion passed down to her children.

"Graceland was given to me and will always be mine," she told USA Today in 2013. "And then passed to my children. It will never be sold."

A representative for Keough confirmed to People that Lisa Marie will be buried in Graceland's Meditation Garden "next to her beloved son" Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide at the age of 27 in July 2020.

The outlet also reported that there will be a public memorial service for the late singer on Sunday, January 22. However, instead of flowers, the family has requested that those "who wish to send something" do so by donating to The Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation.

Founded in 1984, the charity "offers support to various charitable organizations, especially focusing on arts, education and children's programs in the Memphis/Whitehaven area, and also supports the Elvis Presley Endowed Scholarship Fund at the College of Communication & Fine Arts at the University of Memphis," per its official website.

"Riley, Harper, Finley, and Priscilla are grateful for the support, well-wishes, and outpouring of love honoring their beloved Lisa Marie," a statement written on behalf o the family told People.

"A public memorial service has been arranged on the front lawn of Graceland at 9:00 am on Sunday, January 22, in Memphis."

Lisa Marie's final resting place in Graceland will also be beside her father, as well as her paternal grandparents, Vernon and Gladys Presley, great-grandmother, Minnie Mae Presley, and her father's twin brother, Jessie Presley, who died at birth.
