Benny Roshan, chair of the Probate, Trusts & Estates Litigation group, shared her insights with Los Angeles Times regarding Lisa Marie Presley's personal financial issues and the possibility that her successors in the estate will have to deal with creditors' claims and litigation.

Excerpts:

“One of the things that happens when administering somebody’s estate is that that’s the opportunity to present all valid creditors claims,” Roshan said, adding that creditors get priority over heirs. “There could be potential lawsuits if the creditors' claim is rejected by the estate.”

“All of those issues are now going to come to the forefront,” she added.
