Death
Tasha Tudor died on June 18, 2008 in Marlboro, Vermont. Her estate, valued at over 1.2 million pounds, was contested by the three children she disinherited. According to the Daily Telegraph: "Her will, written in 2001, left the bulk of the estate to Seth Tudor, 67, and his son Winslow. It left only £600 each to her two daughters, Bethany Tudor, 69, and Efner Tudor Holmes, and a piece of antique furniture to younger son Thomas Tudor, 64, because of their "estrangement" from her." However, according to Brattleboro Probate Court documents, over Tasha Tudor's lifetime she gave her son Thomas Tudor a half share in her home in Marlboro, VT, and over $2,000,000.00 in art work and other gifts, with a similar lifetime disposition to her two daughters.
