Yea but I assume you knew there was very little $. That is different from learning that they left their millions to someone else. Sure, you would have cared for them anyway, but I’m sure it would sting if they gave what they had to someone else.

It’s not someone else. It was her husband of 33 years. This wasn’t her fling of the week.

.and THEY are her daughters since birth-- 50+ years

+2. Sorry, 33 years of being through thick and thin with a difficult person means you are family.

It's not like she was a broke nobody when they met and married. She was filthy rich and one of the biggest country singers of the 80s.

So what? You still are giving them your life.

I don't see how this situation is any different. The surviving spouse got it all.

I think there's a difference when not a stepfather who didn't raise you but your own mother (who likely adores you and would save your life over her own) inherits it all.

They were married for 33 years. This was not a new spouse.

But he didn't raise them; they were adults when their mom married him.

Exactly. They were adults. Rich adults. They were not entitled to her estate. It’s perfectly normal that her estate would go to her long-time husband.

It just gets weird with stepparents. My mom and stepdad don’t have a lot of money, but most of what they have my mom inherited from my grandmother (my mom was an adult when grandma died). So if my mom leaves that all to my stepdad, who she’s be married to 20+ years, my bother and I receive nothing of my grandmothers estate. And potentially, my grandmothers estate will go to my stepbrother and his kid, both of whom met my grandmother exactly twice. It’s not that I deserve or am entitled to that money (which to be clear, is hypothetical - I doubt there will be much of anything left), but my stepbrother isn’t either. I would feel pretty bad if that’s where it ended up.

And if my dad leaves everything to my step-mom, who knows? She’ll probably leave it to an animal rescue, which would actually feel better to me than my grandmothers money going to my stepbrother.

I’ve always thought the 50/50 split makes sense - leave 50% to spouse and divide remaining 50% among the kids. Then when spouse dies, even if their 50% goes elsewhere, the kids receive some of the generational wealth.

Your grandmother didn’t do her will the right way if she wanted it to wind up with you. The way to handle this is to leave it in trust to the child, with the grandchildren as remaindermen when the kid dies. That’s how you keep inheritances out of spouses hands.

Clearly, there are a lot of step-parents on this thread.😉

People might not need insurance either, but it's good to have it when needed. Have to plan ahead and take precautions.

Ashley, 54, and Wynonna, 58, are not mentioned in the will, however, a source close to the family exclusively told Us that they are listed as beneficiaries of Naomi’s Trust. “It is likely they will inherit money through that once it is administered,” the insider said, noting that Larry is also the “administrator and head of the Trust, so he really is in control of the whole estate.”

Yeah, they'll be fine. Until we hear something directly from them, this is a nothingburger.

Agreed.

What does he do for a living and what did he do before he met and married her? Let me guess, he was her manager.

And she gave him a celebrity adjacent multi-millionaire lifestyle & not $25M bucks. Most people would take that “trade”.

The will was done less than 10 years ago.

This is a woman who shot herself before the biggest night of her life. That is severe mental illness. No thanks!

Staying with a multimillionaire headcase in the hope of cashing in when she dies means you must outlive her, regardless of when the will is written.
