Stern filed an emergency petition this week stating that, under Bahamian law, he should have custody of the body because he is the executor of her estate.

That 'will' was supposedly written in 2001 in the USA - then faxed (to the Bahamas) and filed on 2/17/2007 in the Bahamas AFTER ANNA NICOLE'S DEATH.
Why would the Bahamanian law supercede USA law for a USA citizen who died in the USA and was only a temporary resident of the Bahamas? THIS IS NUTS!
As it stands she is a permanent resident of the Bahama's and will be until the Bahamian government revokes her permanent residency in the Bahama's.
The government in the Bahama's needs to get on the stick and resolve the issues of her false residency in the Bahama's.
The way we read it yesterday, Bahamain law says if you die outside the Bahamas probate is not in Bahamas... in addition to what it says about the child to be a citizen has to be born to a Bahamian Citizen, which ANS was not. I think, ultimately, California has the jurisdiction in the majority of this case unless they turn it over to Florida.
