Anna Nicole Smith's Will Officially Filed

Anna Nicole SmithTMZ 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.

16. HK$ said he wouldn't be an executor because he thought he had his foot in the door with the paternity issue. Now he is coming in the back door. Let's see if this will is "legal" in court.

17. This is posted beside the photo.
'The document is somewhat confusing and intimates that Larry Birkhead could be a beneficiary, but TMZ has confirmed that is not the case.'

I hope Larry, as a representative for Dannielynn, can get due processs for the baby.

Who can prove that she ever read it. Howard admitted in court, he hadn't it all. The one read in FL, was VERY confusing & made little sense.

Will the court 'finally' make the attorneys give full accountabiltiy of her assets & liabilities?

19. Larry is a conartist and with guardianship of Anna's estate..he has free reign to continue to rip his daughter off. If Anna wanted the prick to have anything to do with her estate he would have been named..I am sure Larry is happy as a pig in ****that anna is deceased and mr. control freak calls the shots.

I HATE TO SAY IT BUT....I TOLD YOU SO!

Of course he added Birkhead to the will....it was part of their DEAL. Now can anyone say no deal was made?

And why is Stern involved in the will at all? He made 2 public claims he would denounce his involvement in the will. Thought Howard was going to stay in the Bahamas with Anna and Daniel. And frogs aren't waterproof are they? - lol

Exhume those bodies and bring them to rest in America, to her family. Let Stern and Birkhead carry on bathing in her cebrity and her assests.

22. 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.

25. I think Howard should be the executor because Anna wanted that. Sometimes it is forgotten that she should have any say so in her property. She and Howard were together a long time. Although some of the posters don't know him but don't like him should not make a difference at all. Anna and Howard were a couple. Larry has Dannilyn and has the cool smarts to make millions off of her photos alone. He is wise to keep her out of the public eye
for a while and then do another millions dollar shoot. Howard and Larry will handle the business the way it should be done.

26. How is Larry a conartist... All he did was screw a woman and risk god knows how many deseases to do it. He never claimed to be a father when he wasn't that was HK$.

Hey I think he had poor taste in women, but that doesn't make him a conartist.

Quite frankly I guessing in the end no one will get anything except the lawyers, ANS was all but broke living on the possible settlement of a lawsuit.

27. A court should take one look and say this women was under duress and heavily medicated at all times to be in a right state of mind to make a will.

28. Her personal property is only valued at $10,000?? Does this mean everything else is in the company? I hope it goes well for you Howard.

29. There is no telling what Larry has signed already. What about the corporations......
