Lisa Marie Presley's daughter, Riley Keough, was spotted looking tense during a recent outing ahead of her court showdown with Priscilla Presley.

Upon Lisa Marie Presley's death, it was revealed that she had a whopping $1.1 million unpaid loan and unsettled taxes. However, she secured her family by taking out multiple life insurance policies, leading her estate to have $35 million at the time of her passing.

The official documents only named Riley, Harper, and Finley, as the only beneficiaries, but the late singer's mother hit back and filed an appeal to get her hands on Lisa Marie Presley's estate.

As the battle continues, Riley and Priscilla both start preparing before standing before the court.

On Monday, Lisa Marie Presley's daughter was spotted looking tense while she was out with her husband.

Daily Mail shared the photo of the 33-year-old and her husband, Ben Smith-Petersen, as they left the grocery store Erewhon. The news outlet noted that she looked tense as she talked to her husband; in one photo, she was captured holding onto her husband's hand tightly as she bit her lip.

Her outing came after unnamed sources claimed she felt by Priscilla Presley's filing to change the will.

"She can't believe that her grandmother is already at the courthouse trying to get her hands on the estate when Lisa Marie was just buried. It's looking like a huge showdown is brewing!" a source told OK! Magazine.

The filing started following Lisa Marie Presley's death as Priscilla filed a legal document to dispute the validity of the 2016 amendment to Lisa Marie Presley's trust.

She told the Los Angeles Superior Court that the authenticity of the living trust amendment is problematic. Per the matriarch, her daughter's signature was forged and her name was spelled incorrectly.

Priscilla added that the signature appears "inconsistent with her usual and customary signature."

She strengthened her argument by saying that the document was never notarized upon the changes and that it was never delivered despite the process being listed on the previous 2010 trust arrangement.

Lisa Marie Presley's net worth at the time of her death was around -$10 million. Her life insurance policies saved her, as she previously lost her $295 million net worth due to her reported terrible spending habits.
