Financial details of Glen Campbell estate likely to remain private

by Walter F. Roche Jr.

A Nashville judge has formally approved a request to excuse the executor of Glen Campbell's estate from the requirement to file a detailed annual accounting of all transactions involving estate assets.

The two-page motion approved by Davidson Probate Judge David "Randy" Kennedy had been submitted by the co-trustees of the Campbell Family Trust. It relieves Kimberly Campbell, the singer's widow, who is the executor and personal representative of the estate, from the requirement to file a detailed annual report.

Under Kennedy's order she is also relieved of the requirement to make an appearance before the court next month.

The action means that many financial details of the estate will likely remain private. This is in sharp contrast to the very public battle that emerged when Campbell's will was filed. The will specifically bars three of Campbell's children from any estate assets.

The three, Kelli, Travis and Wesley, first challenged the will but then, in the midst of negotiations, withdrew the challenge.

Glen Campbell - 2012 Grammy Awards
Campbell died in 2017 after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer's disease. According to the Davidson County Probate Clerk's office, annual accountings must include detailed financial details, even including photographs of all canceled checks.

Thus far few details of the Campbell estate's holdings have been made public.

In one filing estate lawyers disclosed that a California attorney hired to handle "complicated issues relating to entertainment law and intellectual property" was being paid over $1,050 an hour. The fee filing, however, redacted multiple details of the original billing statements.

Though a hearing had been twice scheduled for approval of those and other legal fees, the session was postponed indefinitely.

Glen Campbell’s Estate Worth $410,000, Report Says

The estate of country music and pop legend Glen Campbell, previously reported to be worth tens of millions of dollars, is actually worth an estimated $410,000, according to a new report.

Nashville's Tennessean newspaper reports that Stanley B. Schneider, who worked for the singer and guitarist first as his accountant and then as his manager, has filed a four-page document in Davidson Probate Court in Nashville that places the estimated value of Campbell's estate at $410,221, a far cry from initial press reports after the singer's death that listed assets closer to $50 million.

Probate Judge David "Randy" Kennedy appointed Schneider as administrator ad litem of Campbell's estate in February. His inventory of Campbell's assets includes two bank accounts containing a combined total of $959. The largest single asset listed is a 50 percent stake in the AZPB Limited Partnership, valued $296,164. He also lists a 50 percent interest in the AZ Baseball Broadcast Holdings at $3,464. That appears related to Campbell's previously reported ownership interest in the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Glen Campbell Music Inc. is valued at $25,110 in the filing, and Glen Campbell Enterprises is listed at $84,524. Campbell was the sole owner of both of those companies.

Schneider is also in charge of tracking ongoing royalties paid to the estate, and he listed $42,448 in royalty payments between Aug. 8 and April 20, with $76,000 in royalties still owed to the estate. Checks totaling $1,776 were awaiting deposit at the time of his filing, and a payment of $14,246 is expected as a settlement on an insurance claim stemming from water damage to a California property Campbell owned.

Schneider listed debts of $118,200, including an estimated $107,000 in state and federal income taxes and $71,000 in legal fees. His estimate of Campbell's assets does not include future income from royalties, saying, "Appraisal needed."

Campbell died on Aug. 8, 2017, after battling Alzheimer's since 2011. His estate is the subject of a legal battle; Campbell's 13-page will excludes his daughter Kelli and sons William Travis and Wesley Kane from benefitting from his estate. They are his children from his marriage to his second wife, Billie Jean Nunley, which ended in divorce in 1976. Campbell was married a total of  four times and had eight children.

The singer's widow, Kim Campbell, has filed a claim asking for more than half a million dollars in reimbursement from the late singer's estate to cover his medical costs. Campbell's will names her as executor, while she and his five other children are listed as beneficiaries.

Glen Campbell Honored Among Alzheimer's Angst

Note:  The Falk/NASGA Legislative Team crafted the "Campbell/Falk Act" with the help of Senator Rusty Crowe and his wonderful legislative team. That bill became our signature bill and it received positive reviews in many states around the county.

The Campbell/Falk Act easily and enthusiastically passed the Tennessee Senate; but met with strong opposition in the House.  The House basically gutted our bill (removing accountability by adding a sentence which would have given public and professional guardians exemption from the requirements of the new law).  It was touch and go and we were worried the bill would not pass.

Were it not for the monumental efforts of Senator Rusty Crowe in negotiating with the House to remove the "free pass" the House version wished to give to public and professional conservators, the Campbell/Falk Act would not have passed at all.  


We are grateful to Senator Crowe for going more than the extra mile to ensure the passing of the re-drafted Campbell Falk Act in Tennessee, for his friendship and support, and the many hours he spent working with the Falk/NASGA legislative team to create the original bill which soon passed in its entirety in South Dakota.   


The country crooner was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2011. This diagnosis spurred a documentary being filmed of his final tour as Campbell wanted to bring awareness to the disease to help others. It also brought on a family feud that continues today when Campbell does not have the ability to facilitate a reconciliation.

The prestigious Awards show will be televised for the first time in its 10 year history on September 9th, 2016 at 9:00 p.m. eastern on CBS. Glen Campbell will be honored by many via a medley of his hits by some of today’s hottest stars in country music at the 2016 ACM Honors which were filmed on August 30, 2016.

During the Awards show you will see a lot of great folks performing and being honored at this award show. What you won’t see are the adult children from Glen’s first and second marriages who were sitting in the audience get up and stand on the stage with Glen’s 4th wife and their 1/2 siblings to accept the award. The apparent shun and animosity did not go unnoticed by dozens of industry people in attendance and the Nashville music community is concerned.

There has been an ongoing feud between Glen’s 4th wife and some of his adult children from previous marriages for several years now. This unfortunately is happening more and more in families with loved ones suffering from Alzheimer’s. It seems to be a growing epidemic happening in today’s modern families, especially in families where there have been multiple marriages. Some good came from this feud however as the two oldest Campbell children (Debby & Travis) teamed up with Catherine Falk, the daughter of deceased actor Peter Falk and secured the Campbell Falk Bill. That Bill became law this past September, 2016.

The "Campbell~Falk" Bill

NASGA Director Marcia Southwick proudly displays our "Campbell~Falk Bill" after it was signed into Tennessee law by Governor Haslam.

Because of this law, musical icon Glen Campbell is able to see his oldest children, Travis and Trudy once again. Because of this law, untold numbers of guardianship wards in Tennessee who have been denied the presence and the comfort of their family and friends by their court-appointed guardians will no longer have to suffer in isolation!

Glen Campbell's Children Instigate Tennessee Law That Will Protect Elderly


This week marked a major victory for Glen Campbell's oldest children in what they claim has been an ongoing battle with their stepmother over rights to visit their ailing father. On Monday, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam signed the Campbell/Falk Act, which protects communication rights for people who've become wards of the state and those who have conservators over their financial and living situations.

Named after the country music legend and Emmy-winning actor Peter Falk (Columbo, Murder, Inc.), the new law restricts conservators from blocking interaction with loved ones, whether it be in person or via phone, email or mail. And if the disabled person is unable to communicate — as is the case with Campbell, who is in the final stages of Alzheimer's — his or her prior relationship with the visiting person presumes consent.

Campbell's eldest daughter, Debby, and son Travis teamed with Falk's daughter, Catherine, in lobbying the government to get behind the cause. Catherine Falk claims her stepmother tried to prevent her from seeing her famous father, resulting in extensive (and expensive) legal action. Peter Falk suffered from dementia and passed away in 2011. Catherine claims her stepmother neither notified her of her father's passing, nor of his funeral.

Falk was at the Tennessee state capitol this past Monday, along with Debbie Campbell Cloyd, Travis Campbell and his wife Trudy, Marcia Southwick with Boomers Against Elder Abuse and Joseph Roubicek of the National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse. Country legend Tanya Tucker — who dated Glen Campbell in the early Eighties and has remained a close family friend — was also in attendance to lend her outspoken support.

"If this can happen to Glen Campbell, it can happen to anyone," Trudy Campbell said at the bill's signing, as reported in a news release from Tennessee's Senate Republican Caucus. "It is a civil right and certainly a God-given right to see your child and to receive mail from them. We know that thousands of others are suffering from restrictive action by a ward and are very pleased that Tennessee has passed this law to protect them."

Senator Rusty Crowe (R-Johnson City), who sponsored the bill with Representative Jeremy Faison (R-Cosby) commented that it's "heartbreaking to hear sons and daughters who cannot spend quality time with their parent after they are incapacitated and their health is in decline," adding, "We believe this new law strikes the right balance so that it protects the rights of some of our most vulnerable citizens, while at the same time giving the conservator a fair process to follow in protecting the ward."  (Continue Reading)

Press Release: Governor Bill Haslam Signs Campbell~Falk Act

State Senate
State of Tennessee

Governor Bill Haslam signs Campbell~Falk Act

Contact: Darlene Schlicher (615) 741-6336 or email: darlene.schlicher@capitol.tn.us

(NASHVILLE, Tenn.), May 16, 2016 – Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam today signed into law the “Campbell Falk Act” that for the first time in Tennessee establishes a ward’s right to visit and communicate with family and close friends. The new law is named in recognition of Country Music Legend Glen Campbell and renowned actor Peter Falk. Attending the governor’s signing at the Tennessee Capitol were country music artist Tanya Tucker; Glenn Campbell’s children, Debby Campbell Cloyd, Travis Campbell and his wife Trudy; and Peter Falk’s daughter Catherine Falk; Marcia Southwick, with Boomers Against Elder Abuse; and Joseph Roubicek, with the National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse.

The legislation was sponsored by Senator Rusty Crowe (R-Johnson City) and Representative Jeremy Faison (R-Cosby).

“We are very pleased that this new law has been enacted,” said Senator Crowe, who credited the Campbell children, Falk, Tucker and the organization to stop abuse with helping to pass the bill. “We are seeing a growing number of cases of Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and other disabilities which call for a conservator to be appointed. This gets very difficult when there are strained family relationships between the conservator and the ward’s family members and it involves the decision that no communication should occur.”

A conservator is a legally appointed guardian of a disabled person. Previously, Tennessee law allowed a conservator to restrict visitation and communication with the ward without going to court, even when it involved communication or visits by a family member. The new law provides the ward has a right to visit, communicate or interact with family and loved ones and that a conservator shall not restrict it unless specifically authorized by a court order. It also provides a process by which the conservator can petition the court to place restrictions upon communication or interaction by showing good cause. Some of the factors the court can consider are previous protective orders, whether the ward expresses the wish to visit and past preferences.

“If this can happen to Glen Campbell, it can happen to anyone,” said Trudy Campbell. “It is a civil right and certainly a God-given right to see your child and to receive mail from them. That is why Catherine Falk and I approached Senator Crowe and Representative Faison about passing this legislation with the support of Boomers against Elder Abuse and the National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse (NASGA). We know that thousands of others are suffering from restrictive action by a ward and are very pleased that Tennessee has passed this law to protect them.

“Some family situations are more difficult than others,” added Crowe. “It is heartbreaking to hear sons and daughters who cannot spend quality time with their parent after they are incapacitated and their health is in decline. We believe this new law strikes the right balance so that it protects the rights of some of our most vulnerable citizens, while at the same time giving the conservator a fair process to follow in protecting the ward.”

Campbell Falk Bill Now Law


Glen Campbell

Campbell Falk Bill Now Law will be effective on Monday, May 16, 2016 when the Governor of Tennessee Bill Haslam makes it official by applying his John Hancock to the Bill. Glen Campbell who has been suffering with Alzheimer’s Disease will now have some protection.

Travis Campbell, Debby Campbell-Cloyd, Catherine Falk, Senator Rusty Crowe and many others’s fought long and hard to get this bill passed and they succeeded.

Glen Campbell’s first daughter (Debby Campbell-Cloyd) and son (Travis Campbell) became involved when their father’s fourth wife Kim Campbell was not allowing them to visit their father.
They had to take her to court to get visitation, something that should be a GOD given right to parents and children.

The brand new Law protects a person who have become wards of the State or who have conservators controlling their finances, day to day living and visitation.  These poor wards are not even allowed to get mail, a very basic right that is given even to death row inmates.

This new law helps to prevent abuse of the system and those conservators and protects the Wards.  Now Travis and Debby will have liberal visitation to their father and so will all the other people that this BILL turned LAW affects in Tennessee.

Congratulations Travis Campbell, Debby Campbell and most especially Catherine Falk, the daughter of Peter Falk who is getting this Bill or Bills similar to it passed state by state.  She has worked so long and hard at this so that what happened to her and her father will never happen to another human being again.

Glen Campbell's Son, Travis Campbell: Death and Back


The son of legendary country star Glen Campbell sat down to talk to Examiner about his experience with having a heart attack and stroke, dying and coming back from the dead. It is a story of love, miracles and how his mother’s love and the love of his wife pushed and pulled him back to the living.

This is Travis Campbell’s story in his own words. He calls it, “The Day I Died.”

I would like to share with you an event that changed my life. It was the day I died. The video you are about to watch is showing me in a coma after having a massive heart attack and stroke. I was code blue in the ambulance with my wife frantically urging the paramedics to not give up on me even though they could not keep my heart beating and I was clinically DEAD. I had passed that vital 20 minute mark of no oxygen to my brain by the time I arrived in the emergency room. Dr. Limlik tried explaining to my wife that I was too far gone to be saved and the chances of me ever recovering were slim to none. He then asked her if she wanted to let me go and by that he meant stop CPR and let me die.

The Dr. said my wife Trudy quickly without any hesitation whatsoever said “NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.” She wanted them to do everything they could to save me and she kept repeating, “Just please don’t let him die.” The doctor said he followed her instructions as his medical team raced me to surgery. The emergency nurses and doctors continued lifesaving procedures as they wheeled my lifeless body down the hallway of Wesley Trauma unit. The Doctor later told me they lost count of how many times I was shocked and they continued chest compressions all the way into the operating room.

After surgery they put me on ice for 48 hours in what is called a state of hydrothermia and at that point I was in a coma. It took another 48 hours to bring my body temp back to normal. I remained in the coma during that time. The doctors then started the dangerous process of warming my body back up. Three days later the Wesley doctor requested a brain scan which showed no brain activity and the doctor explained to my wife that there was nothing more they could do for me. They left the decision in the hands of my wife whether to turn off the machine that was keeping my heart beating.

The nurse Betty later told me my wife’s response was loud and clear “NO.” She said, “He is not going to leave this world like this! I can’t stand to hear this anymore. I am not unplugging his machine.”

My wife believes in miracles. It was a miracle that I wandered into a pool area on that hot summer day to be found by a nurse my wife had met and given flowers too just 2 weeks before because this lady she refers to as Kim Flowers seemed sad. That random meeting turned into something that not only in hindsight seems much more than a coincidence but now certainly qualifies as a miracle. People are put in our path for a reason. My wife believes in miracles and she was not giving up on me.

She stayed by my side playing me music and talking to me. She placed a picture of my mother Billie Jean with Mother Teresa next to my bed. Days went by and my wife called in a holy man named Tony Cline. He brought me a prayer cloth that had been prayed over anointed. He put the prayer cloth on my arm and began praying. This particular day my wife decided to record the meeting because this very day back on June 24th 1980 was the day her father was killed in a wheat truck wreck. My wife felt that this would be the day something was going to happen. This turn out to be the day that I miraculously defied all odds. I responded and my hand began to shake. The doctors said "I came back from the dead."

I've been asked by many medical professionals about my experience and what I saw during this time. I can tell you that I awoke screaming, "she won’t let me stay, mom won’t let me stay.” It was my mother Billie Jean Campbell who passed away in 1992 that I felt hugging me. I can remember her telling me, “You cannot stay with me now.”

He has asked himself the question many times. Why was I spared? He has come to believe that he was brought back to fight for not only his father but for the rights of all parents and children.

Working in support of the Catherine Falk Organization in presenting theTennessee Campbell Falk Bill to Legislation is the purpose Travis Campbell is serving at this time in his life. He wants to help insure that all parents and children have equal rights and equal visitation to one another. A conservator should not be able to pick and chose which loved ones get to see a ward/patient. This bill insures that everyone gets equal time and rights unless proven in court that someone shouldn’t have those right before being disallowed those rights.

Glen Campbell Bittersweet Grammy Win

Glen Campbell bittersweet Grammy win. Glen Campbell’s bittersweet Grammy win for BEST COMPILATION SOUNDTRACK FOR VISUAL MEDIA, GLEN CAMPBELL: I’ll be me,” is sweet because it is always sweet to win a Grammy. It is bitter because you have to wonder if Alzheimer’s has robbed him of knowing what a Grammy win means.

Glen Campbell was officially diagnosed in 2011 with Alzheimer’s. He has been residing in an assisted living (Memory Care) facility for several years almost immediately after coming off the road from his final tour. That is the same tour that was filmed for the documentary that is now winning him all these bittersweet awards.

As many know, the Campbell family has been torn apart disagreeing about what is best for the country crooner during the declining years of his life and health. His daughter Debby would love to have him home with her. She had been on the road with him for 25 years touring and singing with him and she misses him greatly. Unfortunately, that disagreement was resolved in mediation wherein his oldest daughter Debby and oldest son, Travis were granted limited visitation to their Dad.
While agreeing to that visitation
schedule at the time, Travis Campbell tells The Daily Banner:

“It seemed like the only way to get to see their Dad immediately and for his birthday which was the next day.” Travis Campbell reiterates that they were “Afraid that if the case dragged on, they might not have been able to see him again before he passed.”

Currently, their visitation is very limited and is just not enough precious time with their Dad.

Because of that, they are moving forward working in support of the Catherine Falk Organization in presenting the Tennessee Campbell Falk Bill to Legislation. They have also been assisted by NASGA (National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse) andBoomers against Elder Abuse. They would not only like unlimited access to their Dad but they would like to help insure that all parents and children have equal rights and equal visitation to one another.

Far too often a conservator gets to pick and chose who visits and when. This bill insures that everyone gets equal time and rights unless proven in court that someone shouldn’t have that right. That is all this BILL states and all the bill is trying to do is protect all parties involved in these very sad situations.

Tanya Tucker fights for Glen Campbell



Tanya Tuckers fight for Glen Campbell is to simply be able to get in to see him and say goodbye. Tucker expresses that wish in an interview that can be seen by clicking this photo.

Back in the early 1980’s, Tanya Tucker and Glen Campbell were an item. It was a tumultuous relationship but as Tucker says in a recent tear filled ET interview, “he was the love of my life.” She would like to get in and see him to say goodbye but it seems that request is not being addressed.

Tanya Tucker fights for Glen Campbell. Campbell who is entering the last stage of Alzheimer’s may not even remember who she is so her visit is more for her than him but it sure seems important to Tucker that she be allowed her goodbyes. Campbell recently made it through the holidays in what is being referred to as a “Memory Home,” a facility that specializes in patients with this horrible disease. Nobody can say exactly how much time he has left but if his Stages are being diagnosed correctly, it might not be too much longer. Time is of the essence.

What turns out to be an even sadder situation is it looks like the children from Campbell’s first 2 marriages have had to fight legally for the right to visit with him and even at that, those visitations are very strict and limited.  There has been a new bill drafted and being presented to the legislation in Tennessee allowing the rights of grown children of parents who have become wards of the state or are governed by a conservatorship to preserve the family relationship.

Tanya Tucker is standing right beside Campbell’s first two children in an effort to see to it that Campbell and others like him are not prevented from sharing what time they have left with ALL not just some of their loved ones.  There has been a Facebook page created for this purpose to bring awareness to the Campbell children and Glen Campbell’s plight.  The name of the page is ‘Help Glen Campbell.’  If you want to help, like the page and see what if anything there is that you can do to help at this time.   For more on this fight visit the Catherine Falk Organization.  The daughter of deceased actor Peter Falk heads this organization.

Fighting Back Against Isolation: Travis Campbell and Catherine Falk Join Forces

When a loved one is in the hospital, you naturally want to be at the bedside. But what if the staff won’t allow it? What happens when a loved one is wrongly isolated from family and friends?

Glen Campbell’s Son Travis Campbell and The Daughter of the Late Peter Falk, known as “Columbo” are speaking out about the importance of adult visitation legislation [the Campbell~Falk Bill] which coincides with the push of the Peter Falk Bill.

After Catherine Falk was a victim herself in the attempts to see her ailing father, Catherine's former probate attorney drafted the Peter Falk Bill in 2011 and the first draft was handed to Assemblyman Gatto. After many amended drafts and hard work by her former lawyer, Catherine took one of the amended drafts to other states. California passed the visitation bill in 2015. 

Catherine has since broadened her scope beyond just an adult child seeking visitation with an ailing parent but for all wards in isolation within Conservatorships/Guardianships exposed to abusive guardians who isolate our loved ones. Now Travis Campbell is in the same predicament. He too is in a fight for his right to see his ailing father Glen.

How can we put an end to this isolation that continues to impact society as a whole? The mission is to go to every state in this country to pass a very important Bill/Law protecting the rights of families, specifically when a family member is being isolated from his/her loved ones or there is elder abuse involved. Let’s all join together to make this bill a reality!

Tonight on T.S. Radio: Lory Happeny: The Glen Campbell Story

Hosted by Marti Oakley & Debbie Dahmer

Lory grew up in the 1970's in a middle-class family in the beautiful state of Washington. Life was good, but not perfect. After school she would gather up some drinks and snacks and hide out in her room playing Glen Campbell's music. Her abusive step-father left her alone when Glen was playing. As an adult, she found herself in some unhappy relationships, but she overcame them and was blessed with two beautiful, smart daughters and two grandchildren.

After her father's death, Lory moved to another state to start anew. She began teaching medical classes for a private college, and did so for ten years before being let go with several of her co-workers. Her disabilities became too severe for her to work, but she donates her time, when physically able, at her local senior center. Lory has always been concerned about elders and the loneliness and abuse that so many of them suffer. She is ultimately concerned that no one is a voice for them.

When Lory heard that Glen Campbell, the man who had saved her childhood, protecting her from the abuses of her step father, had been institutionalized, she began looking into things and reading articles and realizing that pieces didn't seem to fit. Now she works hard to uncover all the disturbing facts about Glen. She also runs a growing Facebook page - called Glen Campbell is loved - where people remember and praise Glen, worry about Glen, and get strength and support from one another while providing care to their own loved ones with Alzheimer's.

Glen Campbell Music Lawsuit

Travis Campbell, son of Billie Jean and Glen Campbell and the other shareholders in Glen Campbell Music prevailed in a Los Angeles Superior Court. The Judge required that Glen Campbell's longtime business manager "Stan Schneider and Glen's 4th wife "Kimberly Woolen Campbell" to pay back shareholders, and beneficiaries of the Billie Jean Campbell Trust for what they should have but did not receive.

The Country Music Singer Glen Campbell did not have knowledge of how his business manager "Schneider" and current wife attempted to perpetrate a fraud against the shareholders who owned 40 percent of Glen Music. Document searches at the CA Secretary of State shows that Glen Campbell Music was closed and then reopened as Glen Campbell Enterprises and other companies. This left the other shareholders trying to figure out what happened. While under oath, in depositions Stan Schneider stated, "I made an honest mistake".

During settlement negotiations, Glen's current wife became irate while speaking on the phone to her attorney: trying to avoid paying the amount she and Schneider owed/embezzled from the heirs and shareholders of Glen Campbell's deceased wife Billie Jean Campbell. The deception went back over a ten-year period.

The Judge upheld the 1976 ruling where Billie Jean Campbell, Glen Campbell's wife of eighteen years; the woman that caused him to have superstar status was entitled to forty percent ownership in the Glen Campbell Company (as was stated in their divorce documents). Billie Jean remained a business partner and shareholder in Glen Campbell Music, and or name and likeness.

Billie Jean Campbell died in 1993. At that time, her property, assets, and shares in Glen Campbell Music began disappearing, even though she had a trusts managed by trustees. This was more than a current wife not wanting to give money to an x-wife. Here, Billie Jean Campbell had a court ordered divorce settlement; this was fraud, Billie Jean was a 40 percent shareholder.

This is about corporate fraud. It is about embezzling stock and shareholders money. This is a crime similar to Enron fraud and the Bernie Madoff swindle. This was an attempt to defraud shareholders and perpetrate fraud against the deceased and the heirs of her estate. It seems that business managers, trustees and the fourth wife just decided to forget about the shareholders and use the company as their own personal bank account.

This is what happened with Billie Jean Campbell. They defrauded her out of what was rightfully hers. There were not periodic accounting audits and reports to shareholders. In fact, it seems like there was not an accounting of the trust financials for years. Stan Schneider ignored letters from Billie Jean’s shareholders and rarely returned phone calls. They ignored emails, faxes, and certified letters.

After years of attempting to obtain information, lawyers were hired. Then it took several more years to cause Glen Campbell’s business manager Stan Schneider to be deposed. On at least twelve occasions, Stan Schneider attempted to avoid personal contact with attorneys by sending letters, stating that he had nothing to do with Glen Campbell. Three days after one such letter, Mr Schneider was at the Grammy awards with Glen’s wife Kimberly Woolen Campbell.

Mr Schneider said that he did not do any of Glen Campbell's bookkeeping yet he signed checks written on Glen and Kimberly’s account.

Questions
If we could, we would ask Mr. Schneider and Ms. Kimberly Campbell what happened to Billie Jean Campbell’s money and assets.
How did your names get on Billie Jean’s Campbells trust and move assets into your own personal accounts?
What happened to the Murdock building?
What happened to the Alan Jackson Money
Where is the 1.4 billion dollars from sale of the Oakwood property?
Why, Mr Schneider did you not want to provide that information?
Why did you repeatedly claim that you had no dealing with Kimberly Woolen Campbell, but in court, the two of you were attempting to make settlements to avoid any further forensic investigating or accountings?
After realizing that you have stockholders who were not paid, what did you do to rectify the situation?
“When were Billie Jean’s shares transferred to the Schneider Family Trust?

Billie Jean Campbell took precautions by trying to have a rock solid Trust to protect her assets and to insure her last wishes were met. Billie Jean Campbell wanted 20 percent of her monies to go to charity: to help people. She wanted to give back for the blessed life she and her husband Glen Campbell had achieved. Nothing has gone to charity.

Kimberly Woolen Campbell put Glen Campbell on a farewell tour. She took away everything familiar to him. This was a last ditch attempt to make as much money as possible from final concerts. First, the fourth wife Kimberly Woolen Campbell fired Glen’s band of 30 years and fired Glen’s best friend and daughter Debby Campbell. Debby worked with her dad for twenty-eight years. Now, Kimberly Woolen Campbell will not allow Debby to see her father.

Instead, Kimberly Woolen Campbell puts Glen Campbell into a nursing home and tells the public that he is sicker than he really is. She isolates him from the rest of the world. The desired result is fans buy more tickets and more CD's, and she makes more money. It is really a shame. This is exploitation, and elder abuse.
