Anna Nicole Smith's Will Officially Filed

Posted May 14th 2007 3:50PM by TMZ Staff

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.

6. Anna Nicole was not a Ho-bag, #3. She was stupid like a fox, and parlayed her talent into more money and fame than you'll ever have. RIP, Anna Nicole.

7. It's good to know that they added Larry to the Will. I still think Howard should be executor over everything else because he was more familiar with Anna's assets.

9. I hope Larry gets screwed ..he doesn't deserve any of Anna's money..not one penny the big con artist that he is.

10. OH, so we see how HK$ did it to have himself added back as an executor to Anna's estate. He was unable to establish a marital or paternal interest so he elected himself to become a party for payment for services in Anna's will-be-done, along with personal friend, Ron Rale. What a surprise. And he left Anna in the ground in the Bahamas while he is living where - in Anna's California house?

11. I think Larry should be executor , everything should go to Dannilynn !

12. Unless I misread something, it doesn't sound like there's much of ANS's money to get.
Larry should just be content making money off his daughter with photo shoots, exclusive interviews, etc.

13. I thought Howard said "under oath " that he was not going to be executor ????

15. HKS: murderer! murderer!

This means that LB is agreeing to keep HKS's ass out of being properly investigated. They plan to split the estate.
