Lisa Marie Presley's ex-husband files to represent their twins in court hearing
Lisa Marie Presley 's ex-husband Michael Lockwood has filed to represent their twin daughters at an upcoming court hearing.
The 61-year-old wants to represent the interests of twins Harper and Finley, 14, in a hearing that involves Lisa Marie's multi-million dollar trust.
The musician is asking a judge to appoint him "guardian ad litem" which grants him the authority to speak on behalf of his daughters.
Lisa Marie died on January 12 at the age of 54 after a cardiac arrest.
She had two life insurance policies, one for $25 million and another one for $10 million and the trust has become a major point of contention for the family.

Michael and Lisa Marie had twin daughters (FilmMagic)Lisa's mother Priscilla Presley, 77, and her eldest daughter Riley Keough, 33 have reportedly been involved as well.
Priscilla was originally a trustee but was removed by the star a few years before her death, and replaced by Riley.
The will contains the rights to the Graceland mansion and a 15 percent stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises.
In a 2016 amendment to her will, Lisa Marie removed her mother as her executor and named her two adult children Riley and Benjamin Keough as her only heirs.
Benjamin died by suicide in 2020 and left Riley as the sole heir, but Priscilla is now challenging the amendment, which cut her out of the will entirely, according to TMZ.

It was recently reported that Lisa Marie and Pricilla barely spoke before Lisa Marie's death, despite appearing at multiple events together.
Priscilla filed a petition to question the "authenticity and validity" of the trust, claiming Lisa Marie's signature is "inconsistent".

If Priscilla's petition is successful, it could see her and Riley made co-trustees over Lisa Marie's estate, which could cause more disagreements.
