According to the document, Wynonna and Ashley Judd, daughters of country music artist Naomi Judd, were not included in her will.
Judd designated her spouse, musician Larry Strickland, as the executor of her estate before taking her own life on April 30. According to NBC News’ copy of the will, Strickland has “complete authority and discretion” to handle the estate’s properties any way he sees appropriate, including selling or leasing them, without the need for court authorization or “joinder of any beneficiary.”
According to the contract, Strickland is also entitled to “fair pay” for his work and any costs, such as lawyer and accountant fees.
Judd named her brother-in-law, Reginald Strickland, and Daniel Kris Wiatr as co-executors in the will, in the event that Strickland is unable to serve as executor due to death or other circumstances. Wiatr is the head of the accounting and business management company Wiatr & Associates.
If Wynonna or Ashley Judd are listed anywhere else as beneficiaries of any of Judd’s assets, it is unknown.
The will of Judd was created on November 20, 2017. She was “of sound mind, memory, and understanding and not under any restraint or in any sense incapable to prepare a Last Will and Testament,” according to witnesses who signed the document.
