"Anna Nicole Smith's Will is Revealed"

From Susan Candiotti...CNN


"Clouding an already murky legal scenario, some language in the will seems to exclude any of Smith's future spouses or children.

Smith's heir or heirs stand to inherit a stake in her longstanding claim to the fortune of her late husband, Texas oil baron J. Howard Marshall II.

As executor, Stern is authorized set up and oversee a trust on behalf of Smith's beneficiaries, and to make investments on its behalf.

The document could be crucial to giving Stern the legal standing to determine Smith's final resting place."
