The group says in the lawsuit they would agree to a potential settlement arrangement that would avoid further legal action if her estate pays at least 75% of the loan balance, or $2.850 million, within 45 days.
Lisa Marie died at age 54 in January from complications resulting from small bowel obstruction, County of Los Angeles Medical-Examiner records showed. Following her death, a judge approved her eldest child Riley Keough to become the sole heir of her estate and the new owner of Graceland, ending a legal dispute over her will that her mother had brought into question.
But despite the disagreement over the estate, Priscilla Presley made it clear that she has nothing but love for her eldest grandchild.
"Riley and I are on good terms," she explained to the Hollywood Reporter in an interview published in August. "We were never not on good terms. That was all publicity. This is private and this is not something to fool around with and say that we're not agreeing."
E! News has reached out to a reps for Lisa Marie Presley's estate and Riley Keough and has not heard back.
