If there is not trust, as her only heir, his estate still gets it.
Somebody call Texas; they're involved now!
In CA...intestate law would be Daniel's father.

UNLESS, Daniel has children. Now wait for those claims to come to fruition. Of course, there is still the theory that Daniel is the father of Danielyn.
The may even be more plausible if ANS was molested as a child...
I don't discount that theory because everything is just so wacky. However, in my stereotypical mind....I see the kid has having some kind of visible deformity if that were really true.
I read her will and if Daniel dies before ANS then her monies etc go to her estate. There would have to be a clause in her will that says that if Daniel preceded her in death then his part goes to his children (or estate). I did not see anything like that. I believe this is why HKS is fighting so hard - as "daddy" to the baby. I have had wills done for our mother in law etc and ourselves and there is always a clause there so you can accomodate the child's beneficiaries if so desired. Our sister in law, who thought her oldest daughters son was "it" (she basically raised him and not very good I might add) had her will written that way. Daughter had died of cancer and she wanted Lionel to get her daughter's part. Had to write it that way. I guess it boils down to if the beneficiary dies before the one whose will is in question, then "his" part is up for grabs.
