(PR) Yesterday, the Washington Supreme Court denied the last appeal in Leon Hendrix five year challenge of James Al Hendrix Will. Al Hendrix was Jimi Hendrix father, sole heir and founder of Experience Hendrix, LLC, the family company committed to preserving Jimi Hendrix musical, cultural and artistic legacy. Immediately after Al Hendrix death in 2002, Leon Hendrix filed this lawsuit challenging Als chosen heirs and his plan for continuing Jimi Hendrix legacy. After a lengthy trial in 2004, Judge Ramsdell denied Leon Hendrix challenge. Leon appealed. In 2006, the Washington Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed Judge Ramsdells decision. On June 5, the Washington Supreme Court denied Leons last appeal. With this decision, Leons challenge is over and the Will can now be carried out as Al Hendrix had intended.
Now that Leon has exhausted his appeals, Janie Hendrix observed, My dad was an extremely generous man who had a clear vision for preserving and maintaining the legacy of Jimi Hendrix. Weve done our best to realize that vision. We intend to continue on the path laid out by my father and to redouble our efforts to fulfill that vision.
