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.

46. Anna had not even met Larry when the will was made out. Howard thought he would profit from it. But now it seems like Howard owns the corporation without having to have it go through probate. Also, if Anna had life insurance, which she should have had. Probably Howard was the beneficiary, and he would get that too without it going through probate. Danny Lynn and Larry will getting nothing. There will be nothing left, because bill collectors and attorney's will get all of it or more. It is true Anna was now worth more to Howard dead than alive.

48. It means that Anna spent like there was no tomorrow and despite Howard's best efforts she squandered it all..

Some of you people have gone of the deep end! Even if Howard is the executor, he is not splitting the money with anyone. I am sure he is going to make sure it is for Dannielynn and Larry is only listed because he is her fahter. The money won't be for Larry; it will be for Dannielynn --- and it ain't much!

49. Are you people crazy? Stern included Birkhead for a reason. It was all planned out when Stern told Larry he help him fight to keep Virgie out.

Virgie gets kicked out of any overseeing of the will. Anna is worth more dead now and Stern has the rights to her image. His sidekick Larry owns the kid. All so cute huh?

Stern had a plan B worked out when he lost the DNA Appeal and Larry was part of it. It is so obvious they both have no shame. Stern and Birkhead are laughing all the way to the bank. Now it all makes sense why Birkhead put on the Stern hat soon as he got the child. The Stern hat promised him a cut in the will.

50. Hahaha Virgie - no money for you. Go Howard. Anna was broke. $10,000. in personal assets makes her real poor. Good Luck Howard. Keep Virgie far far away. The $700,00. in equity is nothing. Don't forget the lawsuits pending against Anna. One from the Nannie for $830,000. and the other one class action suit against Anna and Trimspa. Virgie should receive nothing. Thank God everything else is in the corporation. Virgie can't touch that.

51. Of course Larry has filed a contestment of the will~~~to protect his daughter's interests in her mother's assets~~~Why are so many people surprised by that? That will is very vague, so I guess Larry wants to clarify a few things~~~~~more power to you Larry!

52. Larry is an*ss*ole idiot! Why doesn't he have a lawyer representing Dannielyn in all this? Because he is now best friends with Stern and trusts him. What about the yatch and the pink house in the bahamas plus the CA home plus proceeds from HOT SMOOCHIE LIPS plus money from her Trimpsa contract? Remmebr HKS and Erosobitch were drawing money from her accounts?
Dont call on Debra, all you morons, you all cursed her out when jackass golden boy dumped her; but I am glad you recognize that Deb is the person to get all those cockroaches out of the woodwork!

53. It's kinda what I thought... no money...:( I don't think for a moment that Larry Loved Anna . He never said he did through the whole entire mess....but, I guess he gets the golden goose .........................Dannilyn, and Howard gets nothing for his efforts except all the loving memories I'm sure he has of Anna and Daniel...:(

55. patty , you hush you ignorant witch . Anna was doped for years how do you think she could stand howard for so long ?

56. Some of you just don't get it.

Larry is the father of Anna's next-of-kin.

When you call him "con artist" it makes zero sense, because Anna was an ADULT (at least in legal age), and she picked him and had a child with him.

That's the problem with being of adult age, you morons. You get stuck with the decisions you make. Anna Nicole had a child with Larry, it was her decision. You sound ignorant when you seem to argue that he has no rights to Dannielynn's estate or management because you don't like him.

I don't like the Devil. I've heard the Devil is pretty slippery and tricky. But if Judy Blonde Moron was stupid enough to have a child with the Devil, I'd have to begrudingly acknowledge his rights as a parent.

Lessons:

1. Even if Larry is a "con artist", Anna Nicole was a big girl and made her choices.

2. The rights of a non-abusive parents don't go away because you find the person "wrong" or don't like the color of their shirt, tie, etc.

3. Some of you need to go to college and learn about family law. The ignorance can get fierce in here.
