Not as though her daughters were in financial need and she injured them by not providing additional resources. What’s the big deal? Aren’t people free to do what they wish with the money they earned?

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.

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?

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

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[/quote

please stop advocating suicide. thanks!
