92. Lets all learn from this....make sure you update your wills as things change in your life. Doesn't look like poor baby Dannielynn is left anything. Maybe Howard will back off now and give her to her real father. We can only hope so. My prays are with you Dannielynn. Rest In Peace Anna and Danny.

93. I think Anna pulled a fast one on HKS by dying before he could LEGALLY marry her and LEGALLY have the right to all of her stuff. I'm sorry that ANS is gone, I will truly miss her- but I have to say re: her pulling a fast one on HKS, "YOU GO GIRL!"

I don't understand why HKS has the baby right now - because there is a question as to who the true daddy is, the child should be in the custody of a guardian appointed by the court and the DNA testing needs to be done ASAP - I don't understand what the hold up is - oh wait, yes I do. HKS is NOT the FATHER - In fact I think when they should have Maury Povich read the DNA results - hahaha

95. So, what's with Vergie's lawyer saying the will is "phantom" because it hasn't bee filed.

Of course it hasn't been filed, no death certificate has been issued, so the will cannot be put into probate.

96. Anna was NOT a legal resident of the Bahamas; she did not OWN property there -- AND her approved permit was 'questionable' to say the least. As well as the photgraphic evidence of an inappropriately close 'friendship' with Shane Gibson, one Bahamian newsite reported she (or Howie, more likely) apparently gave the Immigration Minister a Rolex, as well ...

97. #50- I agreee with you, and where was the updated will???? On the top shelf of the closet that was "stolen" when Horizons was "broken into" hmmmm no sign of forced entry. I wonder who (Sleazard) may have stolen those items!

98. Comment re:
30. The will specifically and intentionally leaves out "future spouses and/or children". That means she left nothing to Dannielynn. Vergie is her next of kin. Wow.

At the time ANS wrote her Will, there were no other children. Now that it can be established that Dannielynn is sole surviving child, she would be entitled to a portion of her mother's estate.

If HKS was really the father, he'd be demanding and actively participating in a paternity suit by submitting to a DNA analysis thus proving he is entitled to a portion other than just billing the estate as executor.

You can run but ya can't hide, Howie... Sooner or later your own greed and / or arrogance will trip you up.

99. #42 - If someone has a will which specifically states any future kids are OMITTED out of their will.. then 6 years later having a son die, the Stern camp says SHE purchased a plot next to him.. do ya think if ya thinking of burying yourself next to a deceased, ya would think, NEED TO UPDATE MY WILL FOR MY LAST CHILD?!?!?!

As her attorney/lover/baby's daddy/loving daddy/hubby funny how HK$ forgot to mention to Anna, WE NEED TO UPDATE YOUR WILL TO INCLUDE THE BABY.
---------
This will is old and HK$ even looks more guilty.. Daniel dies right before turning 21. Then Anna, giving him full reign as Trustee.

Also he was her attorney during and after 2001.. NOT GOOD..

100. she didnt change her will after he died because she didn't have anything... she has nothing but personal effects...

i think the methadone thing with Daniel was an accident and I think ANS probably could not live with herself afterwards...

101. MM, exactly right. It's quite clear that most people posting to this thread today, in fact, have never executed a will of their own. It is STANDARD to specifically disinherit future (unknown) spouses and children, and then revise the will if and when such relationships become relevant. This is to prevent the Howard Hughes scenario, with hundreds of people coming out of nowhere, claiming to have been long-lost relatives or unacknowledged offspring.

The will should have been updated after Daniel's death. Unless a newer document comes forward, that was a monumental oversight, but Dannielynn is not legally provided for as it stands today.

102. The will was drafted in a way whereby she would not have to revise it as her life changed. (after all, the media would then say she was out of her mind for changing her will so many times.)

By stating her wishes for her then alive son, guardianship trust and omitting spouses or future children, combined with the fact that HKS is in charge of her estate, permited ANS a timeless reassurance. That being the one person SHE TRUSTED with her estate HKS would be the one to determine what ANS would have wanted in the event of an untimely death. She set the will up to protect the child that she brought up as a single mother. The media and general public has no business expressing a negative opinion about a relationship they really knew nothing about.

It is not unusal for high profile individuals to have full-time retained lawyers. This woman enjoyed the spotlight and HKS filtered out the undesirables. Plain and simple. Sometimes that requires being firm. In the entertainment business, it you ever breach confidentiality as an employee or ex-employee, you are simply FINISHED. Sadly, the media is using these "types" for comments.

So the next time you think about ANS, remember, she didn't do anything to harm anyone, she was a mother, she entertained us, she had a full-time lawyer (who became her friend) to protect her from those who might take advantage of her good nature and filed a will that was intended for her to permantly rest in peace with peace of mind.

103. There is NO WAY IN HELL she would not leave it all to Daniel, I think the will is a fake, test the ink, see the real time is was made, Howard could have make it up.

104. The will was updated according to this site:

105. I don't think she realized what the will had said. I think she made the mistake and trusted HKS completely. I dont think she even signed the will. Anyone notice her initials arent identical? I know it won't be a hundred percent each time you initial but look at it. Not only that are'nt you supposed to do initials in a signature and not in print? If she left everything to her executers, it wouldn't matter if HKS and her were married or even if she was married at all regardless the fact that she excluded everyone but her son .HKS is still entitled to everything especially since Daniel died. The rat is stinking more and more.
