Editing Graceland (section)

=== Ownership and Administration ===

Graceland was left in trust to [[Lisa Marie Presley]] upon Elvis's death in 1977, with Vernon Presley serving as executor of the estate until his own death in 1979. The Elvis Presley Estate has been administered by Elvis Presley Enterprises (EPE) since 1979, initially under the direction of [[Priscilla Presley]], who played a central role in developing Graceland as a visitor attraction and in managing the commercial licensing of Presley's image and recordings.

In 2023, Authentic Brands Group (ABG), which had previously acquired an 80% stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises, assumed full operational control of the Graceland property following a dispute with Lisa Marie Presley's estate after her death in January 2023. The property is managed jointly by ABG and the Presley family interests.
