How Wynonna Judd Reacted After Knowing Her Mom Naomi Judd Cut Her and Ashley Judd Out of Her $25M Will

Naomi Judd's daughter, Wynonna Judd, has reportedly opened up about what she feels after she and her sister Ashley Judd were left out of their mom's last will.

A source told Radar Online that Wynonna was "upset" at her mom's decision to exclude them from her testament because she "believes she was a major force behind her mother's success," being a part of the duo The Judds.

On April 30, Naomi, 76, committed suicide by shooting herself following a longtime battle with mental illness. Following their mom's death, Wynonna Judd and Ashley Judd said they lost their mother to the disease of mental illness.

They also said they were "navigating profound grief and know that as we loved her, she was loved by her public," adding that they were "in unknown territory." The two sisters also broke down in tears as they inducted their late mother into the Country Music Hall of Fame last May.

"I'm gonna make this fast because my heart's broken, and I feel so blessed. It's a very strange dynamic, to be this broken and this blessed," Wynonna told the crowd at the Country Music Hall of Fame induction.

Ashley Judd then noted that her mother loved her fans so much. She also said that she was sorry because Naomi Judd was not able to make it to the ceremony as "she couldn't hang on until today."

Wynonna Judd added that she would continue to sing despite her heart being broken. Page Six reported that the sisters had not given any sign of tension between them and their mother since her passing.

Naomi Judd's Will

Naomi Judd has appointed her husband of 33 years, Larry Strickland, as the executor of her estate, court documents showed. The late country singer made no mention of her daughters Wynonna Judd and Ashley Judd.

Reports said the will was prepared in November 2017, almost five years before Naomi died. The country singer also stated in her will that Strickland was entitled to receive "reasonable compensation" for his services.

She added that her husband should also 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."

Naomi noted that in the event her spouse "ceases or fails to serve," she nominated and appointed her brother-in-law, Reginald Strickland, and Daniel Kris Wiatr as co-executors.

The documents noted that Naomi was of "sound mind and disposing memory" when she approved and signed the will. Naomi Judd and Larry Strickland had been married since May 1989.

Reports said the country legend left a fortune and estate believed to be worth $25 million.

Why Naomi Judd Left Wynonna Judd and Ashley Judd Out of Her Will

Criminal Defense Attorney Jason Goldman told Page Six that Naomi Judd was probably advised to pick her spouse over her two daughters since it would be "cleaner and less contentious."

"Despite having the opposite intent, will typically become notoriously difficult to interpret when overly specific... a longer, divided will is inevitably a recipe for misinterpretation and disaster," Goldman noted.

Goldman said Larry Strickland can set up an 'inheritance line" with what he believes Naomi would have wanted for the children.

Goldman further noted that the will did not mention Naomi Judd's hard assets, adding that the country singer might have bestowed them to her children through title transfers before her death.
