Dannielynn inherits from Howard Marshall --- ergo the father will control and that is what HKS is fighting to control the baby for.
Howard knows it, but he is still Trustee of the babies estate, because he set himself up, and that can't be changed.
Then there's the future trade*mark earnings from Dolls, books, Movies, TV..etc..Who knows what deals Howard has procured.
Larry realizes he HAS to deal with Howard, so he is trying to be accommodating.
Opri knows he is making a deal with the Devil tho.
