Naomi Judd Cut Daughters Wynonna & Ashley Judd Out Of Her Will, Estate Controlled By Husband Larry Strickland

Despite being co-performers of the musical duo The Judds, it has been revealed that Wynonna Judd was left out of the will of her mother, the late country music icon Naomi Judd.

Wynonna along with her sister Ashley Judd were not in the will, which was placed under the sole control of Naomi’s husband Larry Strickland. Even in the event of Strickland’s death, the control over the will transfers not to Naomi’s daughters but to his brother Reginald Strickland and a Tennessee law firm.

Naomi’s will also read that Strickland has “full authority and discretion” over her properties and assets, “without the permission of the court.” He is even entitled to attorney’s fees and compensation in relation to the management of the estate.

The will was written in late 2017, and witnesses who signed the document said Naomi was of “sound mind, memory and understanding, and not under any restraint or in any respect incompetent to make a Last Will and Testament.”

Wynonna was reportedly particularly “upset” by the decision because they both performed together.

Hopefully, Strickland and the surviving Judds will not be butting heads or clashing for proper distribution of Naomi’s estate.

Naomi Judd died on April 30 after battling depression and other mental health issues for years. Ashley Judd later revealed that Naomi shot herself with a firearm.
