They were even on welfare and food stamps as well.

Perfect rags -> riches story!
Wynonna became a very successful solo artist - she even had big plans to tour w/her Mother prior to her untimely passing.
I know in her past she had some money issues (for more, read her book!).
Plus Naomi & Wy had a very difficult relationship.
They went months w/o speaking to each other at various times sadly. 🙁

Ashley was a huge powerhouse who had it all….and then some!
Extraordinary classic beauty, brains and was a very talented actress in Hollywood.
Unfortunately her career was negatively cut short due to her rejection of the slimeball Harry Weinstein.
She is very outspoken politically and even earned a college degree late in life.

Both women are very capable of making a substantial amount of money in their respective careers.
It would only make complete sense for Naomi to leave her entire estate to her spouse Larry.
She probably entrusted him 1000% to manage Naomi’s finances/estate on his own…..

You are way too invested in this, who even cares this much?

A step-parent who thinks it's all fine.or an attorney who sees dollar signs ahead.

I am an attorney with a little bit of trust and estate experience. I read the page 6 article. We have no idea what happened with her estate. Neither of the daughters o has commented on it so no info there. The will itself has him as an executor, which is normal, and I guess from the article the will leaves him everything, but that doesn’t really mean anything because it’s entirely possible that there are trusts set up that aren’t public. The 25 million estimate is from the celebrity net worth website, which is totally bogus. It’s entirely possible that the mother left the girls a lot in trusts. That’s what most rich celebrities do. Then then their estate is not public.

So we really don’t know what happened at this point. You guys are speculating over nothing. There is no evidence that she cut them out of their inheritance.

Naomi gave both daughters homes on her property, and they are both millionaires. Who really cares about this, even if she didn't leave additional funds in trusts for them?

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.

PP here. You do you then. You sound like an atty. As a mom, I can't imagine omitting my two adult children and their families from my will. It's not a matter of them needing money. I doubt Naomi's husband "needed" 25 million.

It’s perfectly normal for one spouse to inherit the other spouse’s estate. You have some warped sense of reality to think otherwise. But you do you.

I mean, yeah sure but. Nothing? Not even a token?

She died from mental illness. She did not commit a crime. The symptoms of her illness killed her.

Her daughters are both grown and capable. She left her estate to her spouse of 33 years. Most married people leave their money to their surviving spouse. There is nothing of mental illness in that very rational choice

No one said Naomi committed a crime.

The word "commit" implies a crime or at least a transgression. The preferred (by non-jerks) term is "died by suicide," not "committed suicide"

Then call me a jerk. That's what I've heard all my life. Died by suicide dies sound much better and more respectful.

I had always thought of the "commit" language as a result of being a sin -- and I didn't grow up in a church -- I like died by suicide much better. I wonder if anohter step is to understnd that if people are suffering from an illness, "even" mental, they have the right to die

Yeah, me either. That's what my dad did. My mom got everything, so that she could still take care of herself.

Kids are not entitled to inheritances. And those daughters make a **** ton themselves.

The difference is when your mother passes, she presumably will or did pass it along to her children.

You have no idea what she left her daughters! Trusts are not public. She may have left them trusts. And if you read the page 6 article, you will see that the 25 million estimate it’s just from celebrity net worth website. It’s also entirely possible she has been giving her money money or assets to her children using up her lifetime exemption over the years. So you people have absolutely no clue what her estate plans were

They are millionaires. What is the concern of the token? They also have homes on her land.

Wait, the New York Post could be lying? Where are my smelling salts?

We just updated our will. Also powered of Attorney, Living Will, Medical POA and two more . I’m 64, substantial means. We are leaving everything to my fabulous nephew, who has always said that he will take care of me, way before I mentioned money.

In my will I leave everything to my husband if he survives me. I think this is pretty normal? I guess if he gets remarried and then dies first my kids could be screwed.

Exactly. About 10 years ago there was a rich Spanish investor who died on Menorca and his will revealed that he'd left nothing to his own family and instead bequeathed his estate to Prince Felipe. Who'd never met him, didn't know who he was, and was probably the last person in Spain who needed any such money. THAT was bizarre. This? Not so much.
