After her parents divorced, she lived with her mother in Los Angeles, California but often lived with her father at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee.

When her father died in August 1977, nine-year-old Presley became heir to his estate with her grandfather Vernon Elvis Presley and her great-grandmother Minnie Mae Hood Presley. Vernon died in 1979 and Minnie Mae died in 1980. This made her the only heir and she inherited Graceland. On her 25th birthday in 1993, she inherited the estate. It had grown to about $100 million. In 2004, Presley sold 85% of her father's estate.

In the late 1970s, soon after the death of her father, she attended her first rock concert. It was the English band Queen at The Forum in Inglewood, California. She gave Freddie Mercury a scarf after the show. The scarf had belonged to her father. She also said that she loved the theatrics of the show.

Her parents had divorced when she was four years old. Lisa was nine years old when her father died, She was one of the first people to see her father dead on the bathroom floor at Graceland.

Shortly after her father's death, her mother began dating actor Michael Edwards. Lisa Marie was reportedly sexually abused by Edwards when she was between 12 and 15 years old. In an interview with Playboy magazine in 2003, Presley said that Edwards had the habit of going into her private room while drunk. She said that he was inappropriate with her.
