A Tennessee court has halted the Thursday sale of Elvis Presley’s historic Graceland mansion.
Chancellor JoeDae L. Jenkins said at an injunction hearing at Shelby County Tennessee Chancery Court on Wednesday morning that the proposed auctioning of the property on Thursday will not go ahead after the Rock ‘n’ Roll legend’s granddaughter claimed documents pertaining to the case were fraudulent.
The judge said he considered the real estate unique to the state and that there must be time for adequate discovery, and for the defense to address claims made about the potential sale.
The judge noted that this matter is of public interest, and that Graceland is part of the community and is well-loved.
