Country star Wynonna Judd is planning to formally contest her late mother’s will which left her $25million fortune to her husband. Naomi Judd, who was a long-time singing partner of Wynonna, as The Judds, left her two daughters out of her will in a baffling move. Both Wynonna, 58, and Ashley did not feature in the will, and did not get any part of her estate, with the Nashville superstar leaving everything to her widower Larry Strickland.

Correct. In intestate cases in CA, the surviving spouse gets all the community property, and half the seperate property; the kids share the other half. I suppose probate is going to be in TN. If it were CA, everything accumulated before they married would be the separate property component

Set up a trust that specifies who gets what and include a clause that anyone contesting the terms of the trust will get nothing, as if they pre-deceased.
Larry Strickland was married to Judd for 30 years, so this not a case of some gigolo scamming her out of her estate.

Too bad Naomi didn’t set up a family trust.
Larry is set, so, there’s that.

Fixed it.
i thought i read that Naomi had t o go to rehab for her spending issues, not Wynonna.
anyways- she coulda left her kids something. Just my opinion!
Haha, no.
That scenario is hard, even worse when divorce and remarriage create it. Decades later the family wounds can be reopened if one of the surviving spouses favor their natural children over the step ones, throwing into question whether the second family was ever “real”.
To be honest the only reason Naomi was successful was because she teamed with her daughter Wynonna to form the Judds, although Naomi did share in the song writing credits. But Naomi didn’t have any success on her own as a solo artist as her daughter later did after her mother retired due to her numerous health issues.
Unless your wife (in my case, the mother-in-law) decides to change the will after you’re gone and spends what was supposed to be an inheritance for the kids on booze and gambling.
“...wife remarries and leaves everything to new husband...”
You can stop right there. She was not the mom of the year.
Where theirs a will theirs a relative with a lawyer to often.
i agree- W earned that money. I don’t blame her for wanting what’s fair.
As for Larry I don’t know a thing about him.
W earned her own money and blew it. She is incapable of managing money. She needs a keeper and maybe Naomi put everything in Trust, the details of her estate are not really known.
Confirmed: Money is thicker than blood.
There are different ways to do it. My mother-in-law’s husband allowed her to use his money for living, transport etc. and when she passed, it went to their church.
He had told me that the kids wouldn’t get anything and remember telling him that I wasn’t expecting anything. My brother and sister in law don’t have much and did get something from their mom’s estate as did my wife.
okay i read otherwise....good luck to all involved.
