Wynonna Judd has disputed the fact that there is a brewing feud with her sister Ashley Judd over the estate of their late mother Naomi Judd.

In April of this year, Naomi committed suicide at the age of 76.

In her testament, the country singer who created The Judds with Wynonna appointed her husband Larry Strickland as executor of her inheritance.

In response to rumors that she and Ashley are at odds over the will, Wynonna told People magazine that these allegations are essentially impossible. She said that there is no dispute between them and that respectively, both her and Ashley have great lives already. So much so that fighting over their mom's savings would be impossible.

Wynonna stated that even if she want more of her mother's life savings and possessions, she would be unable to do it. Wynonna explained that she is the the last person in this family has the sophistication to say she's going to contest the will. It's just something that would never cross her mind, she said.

Wynonna disclosed that she and Ashley will "divide" the estate upon Strickland's death. The country diva stated that Naomi's death has brought her and her sister closer together, adding that their bond is the strongest in her life.

Fans of Naomi Judd, the late matriarch of the Grammy-winning country duo The Judds, will get the opportunity to say goodbye and celebrate their greatest songs during a farewell tour led by Naomi's daughter Wynonna Judd and an all-star cast of musical collaborators.

During a year that should have been celebratory, the Judd family continues to lament her untimely passing. The tour was announced just weeks before Naomi, 76, passed away on April 30, the day before their Country Music Hall of Fame induction. Wynonna, 58, remarked earlier this week while sitting on a tour bus after rehearsals that it was heartbreakingly lovely to revisit the past and experience some of these feelings.

She admitted to having moments of breaking down though.

The eleven-city tour began Friday evening in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and will include stops in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Fort Worth, Texas, and Nashville before concluding in their home state of Lexington, Kentucky. Brandi Carlile, Ashley McBryde, Little Big Town, Kelsea Ballerini, Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill, and tour opener Martina McBride are among the special guests.

Naomi's husband Larry Strickland, as well as her daughters Wynonna and Ashley Judd, reflected on their mother's legacy, not only as a musician, but also as a caretaker and an advocate.
