It hasn’t been long since Naomi Judd’s tragic death. The late county singer decided to end her life by suicide on April 30. Going through all of it was not at all easy for her daughters Ashley Judd and Wynona Judd. But, they somehow managed to pull through.
Well, with time, things are going back to normal. Recently, the topic of Naomi’s will and property came up. She had $25 million dollars to her name. So, what’s the issue? She didn’t include her daughters in the will and things seem to be getting more complicated.

If Not Ashley And Wynona, Then Who Will Get Naomi Judd’s Fortune?
Naomi Judd’s decision to not include any of her daughters in her last will shocked all her fans. Rather, she appointed her husband Larry Strickland as the executor of her estate, as per court documents. Not just that, Naomi mentioned in the will that if due to death or any other reason her husband couldn’t be the executor, then she would like her brother-in-law, Reginald Strickland, and Daniel Kris Wiatr, the president of Wiatr & Associates, to serve as co-executors.
Naomi requested in the will that the musician, 76, have “full authority and discretion” over any property that is an asset to her estate “without the approval of any court” or permission from any beneficiary of the estate.
She also stated that Strickland would be entitled to receive “reasonable compensation” for his services and that he would be paid or reimbursed for all “reasonable expenses, advances and disbursements, including attorney’s and accountant’s fees, made or incurred in the administration of my estate.”
The will which was prepared on November 20, 2017, nearly five years before Naomi’s death, was legally witnessed by Melissa Sitzler, a senior account manager at a Tennessee law firm called Wiatr & Associates, and another individual named Abigail Muelder.
Documents revealed the ‘Love Can Build a Bridge’ singer suffered from longtime depression but was of “sound mind and disposing memory” when she signed and approved the will.
Wynonna Is Upset Over The Matter
RadarOnline.com claims a source informed them Wynonna Judd is “upset” that she was excluded because she formed one-half of the duo, The Judds, with Naomi and “believes she was a major force behind her mother’s success.” The sisters have not given any insights regarding their feelings about the whole matter.
About a month after the death of her mom, Wynonna said she felt “helpless” and vowed to “break the cycle of addiction & family dysfunction, that I must continue to show up for myself [first] and do the personal healing work.”
Meanwhile, a podcast interview in July featured Ashley saying that she does “understand” that her mother was in pain after years of dealing with an “undiagnosed and untreated mental illness.”
