TMZ has obtained the official copy of Anna Nicole Smith's will, filed moments ago by Howard K. Stern.
The petition to probate Anna's will was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court. It is the same will that was discussed during the contentious Florida court hearings. The will doesn't name Larry Birkhead as a beneficiary, but the petition to probate lists him as a party with an interest in Anna's estate.
TMZ got in touch with Ron Rale, one of the named executors, who confirmed that Birkhead has filed a petition to become the guardian of Dannielynn's estate. Of course, you recall, a DNA test confirmed that Birkhead is Dannielynn's daddy. Rale added, "Contrary to any speculation, there is no way in the world that there is any petition to name Larry as a beneficiary of the estate in his individual capacity."
Rale also noted that in the petition, Stern waived any right to compensation as executor.
In the will, Anna is listed to have had personal property valued at $10,000 and real property valued at $1.8 million when she died; however, she still had a $1.1 million mortgage.
The information about the Will being faxed to HKS five days before Anna died can be found here: http://www.thegossipfix.com/2007/02/21/more-dirt-on-scumbag-howard-k-stern/
I'm not sure I buy Ron Rale's excuse that the date was wrong on the Fax Machine. I don't believe this type error would not have been caught earlier than 5 days in a firm the size of Trope & Trope!
That FAX date is proof positive for pre-meditation. If there was a date malfunction - ALL THE FAXES PRODUCED BY THAT COMPANY WOULD BE OUT OF SYNC.
That should be considered evidence of criminal intent in Jerry Brown’s investigation.
I wonder how they can say that if they are still trying for the Marshall money and then what happens if they succeed getting even a partial amount?
It is important to know that Rale’s big explanation was he faxed it from HOME! And.. that phone number is from three house ago.
What is interesting about THAT lie is, why was the date not off by THREE HOUSES AGO??????
the will was faxed proportedly on 2/3
ans was injected on 2/2 (perper)
Rale added, "...there is no way in the world that there is any petition to name Larry as a beneficiary...in his individual capacity."
