DNA Testing Systems Announces That Presley Petitions Memphis Court to Reopen Vernon Elvis Presley Estate

Asks to Be Admitted as Heir

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Sept. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Eliza A. Presley, asserting
that her father is Vernon Elvis Presley, father of entertainer Elvis A.
Presley, filed a petition today in Shelby County Probate Court to reopen
her father's estate. Attorney Kathleen L. Caldwell of Memphis placed the
five-page petition in the hands of the clerk of court in downtown Memphis
at 10:25 a.m. (CDT). It was filed under docket number D-5830.

The basis of Presley's suit is as a "pretermitted heir." This term
designates one who would likely stand to inherit under a will, except that
the person who wrote the will did not know or failed to mention the party
at the time the will was written. Evidence in safekeeping with the
petitioner suggests that many people knew that she was Vernon Elvis
Presley's daughter.

Presley, 46, was adopted at birth and just recently discovered that she
is the daughter of Vernon Elvis Presley and hence half-sister of her
father's famous son, Elvis, who died in 1977. The two have different
mothers. Their father Vernon Elvis Presley was executor and trustee of his
son Elvis' estate. Vernon Elvis Presley died two years later.

Elvis Presley is known as the King of Rock 'n Roll and is celebrated as
one of the greatest entertainers of all time. News of his death at his
Graceland home in Memphis, Tenn., on August 16, 1977, at the age of 42
shocked the world. The only child of parents Vernon Elvis and Gladys Love
Smith Presley of Tupelo, Miss., he left a daughter, Lisa Marie, by ex-wife
Priscilla Beaulieu Presley. His will appointed as executor and trustee his
father, Vernon E. Presley.

Vernon Presley had no other known children at the time of his death in
1979. A son, Jessie, the twin brother of Elvis, was stillborn, January 8,
1935.
