Larry Birkhead is named guardian of Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter

Posted on June 20, 2007 - Anna Nicole Smith, Larry Birkhead

Howard K. Stern was named executor of Anna Nicole Smith’s estate, while
Larry Birkhead was named guardian of the couple’s daughter Dannielynn,
yesterday (19.06.07).

A Los Angeles judge ruled lawyers must return to court later this year to
review the former Playboy playmate’s will.

Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff told the lawyers he was concerned
about a clause in Anna Nicole’s will disinheriting any children born after
her son, Daniel, who died last September three days after Dannielynn was
born.

The model died in February of an accidental overdose leaving a will dated
July 2001 which named Daniel as sole benefactor.

The will stated: “I have intentionally omitted to provide for other heirs,
including future spouses and children and other descendants now living and
those hereafter born or adopted.”

One of Anna Nicole’s attorneys, Bruce Ross, said he’ll prove at future
hearings that the clause is “extraordinary and improperly drafted” and
should not stand.

Ross promised to send copy of the court documents to Anna Nicole’s mother
Virgie Arthur.

Stern has estimated the late model’s assets at $710,000 - but this could
increase substantially pending the outcome of a battle over the estate of
Anna Nicole’s late husband, billionaire J. Howard Marshall.
