Despite faults in the famous offspring's fortune, she still left behind her ownership in the family's famed Graceland mansion and was in charge of a trust set up by Elvis, worth an estimated $65 million, according to Michael.

In addition to a battle over her daughter's estate, Priscilla is determined to ensure she will have legal access to her teenage granddaughters and plans to obtain a court ordered and mandated visitation right, the insider confessed, as the twins' father gained full custody of the divorced duo's children upon Lisa Marie's death.

Prior to her untimely passing at the age of 54, the "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" singer had 60 percent custody of her youngest daughters, while Michael had 40 percent.

Although Priscilla doesn't plan to fight for any custody of the children, sources are concerned Michael will attempt to receive an increase in child support from the rock and roll legend's ex-wife.
