BEIJING, Oct. 19 (Xinhuanet) -- Anna Nicole Smith's former
lawyer and companion filed court papers in Los Angeles Superior Court seeking to
establish her 13-month-old daughter as the sole heir of the late model's estate,
media reported Friday.
Smith's will was drafted long before the birth of her
daughter, Dannielynn, in September 2006. The former playboy model died of drug
overdose on Feb. 8 before updating the will to include her daughter.
The will, filed in May, left all her assets
to her son, Daniel, who was her only child at that time. He died three days
after Dannielynn was born.
In court papers filed Thursday, Howard K. Stern states
that "although (Anna Nicole) did not expect to have any children in the future,
if she did, she wanted them to share equally in the trust created for Daniel."¡¡
Dannielynn is now in the custody of her father, Larry
Birkhead, who was established as her parent through DNA testing that settled a
legal dispute with Stern.
Smith's assets were estimated at 710,000 U.S.
dollars, but as the widow of Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II, she had
been fighting Marshall's family for years over his estimated 500 million dollars
fortune.
How much of that money, if any, eventually goes to
Dannielynn could depend on the outcome of the legal dispute.
