Trial Date Set on Campbell Will Challenge

By Walter F. Roche Jr.

A Nashville judge has set an April 14 trial date for the challenge to the will of the late singer Glen Campbell.
In a brief order issued today Judge David "Randy" Kennedy also set a strict schedule for the handling of pre-trial matters including the designation of expert witnesses and the timing of depositions.
Campbell, who died a little over a year ago, specifically excluded three of his children - William, Kelli and Wesley - from any inheritance. They are the ones challenging the will filed by Campbell's widow Kimberly.
Under Kennedy's order the three challengers must file their arguments that the will is invalid by the end of this week.
A response to those arguments from Kimberly and the five other children is due Sept. 14. Expert witnesses must be named by Sept. 28 and pre-trial motions are due Jan. 21 with a hearing on Feb. 15.
As Kennedy's order notes the challenge is based on undue influence and competency.
Campbell's Aug. 8, 2017 death followed a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
The April trial date had been urged by Kimberly Campbell's lawyers, while the three contestants argued for a later trial date.
