In May, Us confirmed that the women came to an agreement over the legal matter. Riley would be the sole trustee of the estate while her sisters would become sub-trustees and Priscilla would receive a one-time lump sum payment of $1 million from the account.

Riley later opened up about the struggle her family faced following the loss of Lisa Marie and despite the back and forth with Priscilla the duo were never on bad terms.
