Glen Campbell's wills cut out three of his eight children, and they challenged his capacity after Alzheimer's

Glen Campbell, who sang "Rhinestone Cowboy," was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and died in 2017. His widow, Kimberly, filed a 2006 will naming herself executor. It left the estate to her and five of his eight children. Travis, Kelli and Wesley Campbell, children from his second marriage, were left out of both the 2001 and 2006 wills. In 2018 Nashville probate judge David Randy Kennedy ruled that they had standing to contest both wills. They planned to argue that their father lacked capacity and was subject to undue influence. Court documents put the estate at about $410,000, excluding future royalties, against earlier estimates of $50 million^†. A fourth child, Debby Campbell-Cloyd, asked for a full accounting of estate payments and of the account where royalties were paid. On 19 November 2018 the three dropped their challenge without giving reasons. Kimberly Campbell said she paid no settlement and that the claims had no merit.
