New things were brought to light after the death of Naomi Judd. In August 2022, Page Six reported that Naomi had left her two daughters, Ashley and Wynonna Judd, out of her will. Instead, the country music singer appointed her husband, Larry Strickland, to have “full authority and discretion” over any of her property “without the approval of any court.” Strickland would also receive “reasonable compensation” and would be compensated for his “reasonable expenses, advances, and disbursements, including attorney’s and accountant’s fees, made or incurred in the administration of my estate.”
According to Page Six, the will was created in November 2017. Although Naomi struggled with her mental health, which could discredit the document, it appears as though she was of “sound mind and disposing memory” when she established her will. Although Ashley and Wynonna are successful in their own right, many were surprised Naomi would leave her daughters out of her will. As a result, rumors began to circulate about tensions between the siblings.

Radar reported that Wynonna was upset over her mother’s decision to put Strickland in charge of her estate and planned on contesting the will. A source told the outlet, “Wynonna was banking on getting a piece of the pie,” and the singer believed that her mother, Strickland, and her sister all hatched a plot against her. This reportedly caused tension between Wynonna and Ashley as the “Double Jeopardy” star agreed with her mom’s will.
