Unexpected Exclusions From Naomi Judd's Will Have Been Revealed

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Following Naomi Judd's death, two people left out of the country music stars include her own daughters, Wynonna and Ashley Judd. Instead of her daughters, Naomi left her husband, Larry Strickland, to be the executor of her will.

According to Page Six, Naomi's will states that Strickland has the "full authority and discretion" over what she left behind. With that, Strickland was given full permission from his wife to make any needed decisions and does not need an opinion or permission from the courts, attorney, or any other beneficiary that Naomi listed to do so. In addition, Naomi wrote that Strickland would be financially reimbursed for matters related to her passing including "attorney's and accountant's fees, and reasonable expenses." If anything were to happen to Strickland, Naomi had appointed her brother-in-law, Reginald Strickland, to be the executor alongside Daniel Kris Wiatr, the president of the law firm Naomi used for her will, Wiatr & Associates.

While Wynonna and Ashley were both excluded from the will, it was written on the paperwork that at the time, Naomi herself was in a good mental state and had a "disposing memory" when she made the decisions for her estate in 2017. The will is worth $25 million, per Yahoo! Entertainment. Following the news, while neither Wynonna nor Ashley has spoken out about the details regarding the will, the two have instead been vocal about keeping their mom's memory alive.
