Celebrity Justice
Dannielynn Officially Declared Anna's Sole Heir

Dannielynn, Anna Nicole SmithAnna Nicole Smith's 18-month-old daughter Dannielynn has been declared the sole heir to the former Playmate's estate.

Smith's attorney and companion Howard K. Stern had sought to clarify Smith's final wishes as her will was written in 2001 -- five years before the little girl was born.

In addition, the judge also established a trust in Dannielynn's name, and named Stern and the child's father Larry Birkhead as co-trustees.

The toddler could stand to inherit millions from the fortune of her mother's late husband, billionaire J. Howard Marshall, which is still tied up in a heated court battle.

46. It must be true Howard was holding something over Larry's head......those two deserve each other. Both up to no good, only see dollar signs. I pray they do not ever receive a cent from the Marshall family. They don't deserve anything! That unfortunate child...to be born into a big MESS!!!! Howard should be out on his ear! But he is still right up in the middle of everything. He should be under investigation by the FBI.

47. What is up with those truly ugly photos of Dannilyn and Anna Nicole? I'm sure TMZ could have chosen better photos than those. And why do you small-minded people feel a need to insult either Anna Nicole or her child? GET A FREAKING LIFE! Calling the child a cross-eyed freak and retarded is a bit much. Are you jealous because she has more money than you will ever have in your lifetime no matter how long you work? Don't hate the player, hate the game.

50. A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet. 'My dog's cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him? 'Well, 'says the vet, 'let's have a look at him' so he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth.
Finally, he says ' I'm going to have to put him down. 'What? Because he's cross-eyed?' No, because he's really heavy'

51. TMZ, YOU ARE DISGUSTING! GET THAT HORRIBLE PICTURE OF THAT CHILD OFF AND PUT UP A DECENT ONE. OF ANNA, I COULD UNDERSTAND IT...SHE WAS STONED ALL THE TIME. BUT THAT LITTLE GIRL IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BABIES IN HOLLYWOOD RIGHT NOW, EVEN WITH THE CROSSED EYE! I PRAY THAT SHE IS NOT MENTALLY IMPAIRED, BUT THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE OF THAT, THE WAY HER MOTHER WAS SUCH A DOPER!

52. After all TMZ's media exposure, is it absolutely necessary to post such BAD pictures of Anna and Danny Lynn when exposing yet another story!!! Pathetic! Maybe you should go back to your archives TMZ. I know I've seen better!

53. thank you and now I can try to get the Marshall money. I need money because Anna is dead and I was running out of money. I owe every lawyer in the US and now I can control her money all her life. I can take it when ever I want. I am rich I am rich.

54. TMZ - this is disgusting! This is an adorable little girl and her mother had a beautiful face. You azzwholes have better pictures than this and are getting just as sick as that other fat guys website. You don't do this to an innocent child and you let the dead rest in peace!

55. When will the rightful heirs, the Marshall's, ever get a break from this non-sense? When is the court system going to do the right thing, and drop this case once and for all? Why should this little girls get the money? Her mother married an old rich man for a minute. Just a giant waste of taxpayers money for this to have gone on this long.

57. HOWARD IS A BLOOD-SUCKING PIG. HIS MISFORTUNE COMES AT HIS OWN HAND. YOU FIGURE WHAT THE ODDS ARE THAT A YOUNG MOTHER AND SON BOTH DIE PRACTICALLY THE SAME WAY WITHIN MONTHS OF EACH OTHER WHEN THEY WERE OTHERWISE HEALTHY! HE NEEDS TO GET OUT OF DANNIELYN'S LIFE ONCE AND FOR ALL. SHE DOESN'T NEED HIM TO TAKE CARE OF HER INTERESTS. SHE HAS A FATHER FOR THAT, AND IF LARRY MAKES ANY MONEY FROM HIS DAUGHTER..SO WHAT?? HE SHARED IN CREATING HER, AND IS TAKING CARE OF HER, AND FROM WHAT I CAN SEE, HE IS DOING A DARN GOOD JOB TAKING CARE OF HER NEEDS!
