PLAYMATE'S DAUGHTER *NOT* WRITTEN OUT OF ANNA NICOLE'S WILL
UNPOPULAR HOWARD K. STERN WILL BE TRUSTEE OF PLAYMATE'S MILLIONS FOR NEXT 35 YEARS, FOR THE BENEFIT OF 5-MONTH OLD DANNIELYNN SMITH

I have never cared much for this girl. I feel sorry for her in her death though. Some people seem to relish in it.
Sorry, the 5 year old girl was BORN not "boron" in the Bahamas. Much better that way. Sorry about that.
I have been uniformly underwhelmed by the medias incompetence in legal coverage.
The absolute worst of the bunch are the former prosecutors. They were government lawyers, not working lawyers. In addition the absolute worst ones are the ones who claim to be undefeated. This just means they settled or dismissed their weak cases.
If the infant was 18 and not 5 months we would not be having this debate. Judge Seidlin may be odd, but I think the 4th will uphold that the body is the property of the daughter.
Couldn't quite follow all the details but is the author trying to say that it's really algore's child?
I don't see how one could get much more specific than:
" .. Except as otherwise provided in this will, I have intentionally omitted to provide for my spouse and other heirs, including future spouses and children and other descendants now living and those hereafter born or adopted, as well as existing and future stepchildren and foster children. ..."
The "otherwise provided" doesn't appear anywhere. There is an alleged trust to be set up specifically for Daniel Smith by name. Stern, et al, are the appointed guardians of minor child, Daniel Smith, specified by name.
All that is moot, as Daniel Smith died at age 20.
Vickie Lynn Marshall, aka Anna Nicole Smith, was fully aware that she had given birth to another heir, Dannielynn, and additionally, her personal attorney, Howard K. Stern, was fully aware that she had given birth to another heir.
That no superseding will was drawn up (or has surfaced just yet, perhaps waiting for a more dramatic moment) just screams of incompetence. They managed to buy more burial plots, but didn't draw up legal papers for the distribution of the assets.
Something tells me there aren't many assets to distribute - and that even the erstwhile contingent attorney allegedly working so diligently on pursuing the Marshall case to add to the value of the estate doesn't believe there will be much in the way of future assets to distribute.
All this should've been done automatically either when Dannielynn was born or when Daniel died shortly thereafter.
I'm shocked, SHOCKED, I say.
The will rendered Anna Nicole basically intestate.
Who cares!!!
