Glen Campbell’s Children Have Right to Contest Wills that Cut Them Off Inheritance

Davidson Probate Judge David Randy Kennedy out of Nashville, Tennessee has ruled that three children of the late singer Glen Campbell have standing to contest two wills that disinherit them entirely. The wills are from 2001 and 2006.

Travis, Kelli, and Wesley Campbell intend to argue that their father did not have the mental capability to execute wills and may have been under undue influence. Glen Campbell had been suffering from Alzheimer’s before his passing on August 7, 2017. The 2006 will had been filed by Campbell’s widow, Kimberly, naming her as a beneficiary and executor of the estate, who also recently filed notice she would not challenge the right of the three children to contest the will. The will also names his other five children as beneficiaries.
