Now they're fighting over who has rights to her body.....If it wasn't a high profile case, this would be over with and she could be buried.

Her and the Howard Stern guy weren't legally married and it hasn't even been proven that the baby he is. She told everyone the baby was his, after the Larry guy said it was his.

Her Mom wants the body also.

So  who do you think should be in charge of the funeral and all the details and stuff? And what do you think should happen to the baby if they can't distinguish paternity?  I haven't heard anyone say Howard Stern had to take a test, but I think he should have to.

I think everyone who claimes to be the daddy should be ordered to take a DNA pert test to see who is the father. As for the funeral I think who ever she was living with at the time should at least pay for half (if she wasnt married) and the mother pay the other half.As for where the child should live until any test are done....well thats a hard one there.

[Ms.Behavin]

did she even have a will?

[Tara]

Howard Stern (her lawyer/ bf/ hop in the sack) says she does and he says hes the executor of it. That is why he said he should have the say so as to where she should be buried... Her son is buried in the Bahamas and he wants her buried next to him. That does makes sense. The mother wants her buried in Texas.

If my child died before I did, I would want to be buried next to them.

[Ms.Behavin]

well clearly Anna did not want her mom involved in anything in her life. There is a reason Anna behaved the way she did. But at the same time if I were a judge I would have a serious problem with Howard being the executor of that will. Looks like no one will ever know the truth, but I really hope to God that someone gets custody of that baby who has her best interest at heart. I can only see now that her life will turn out to be a completely dysfunctional situation if she goes with either Howard or Annas mom. I would just think that if I were Anna, I would of made sure all my lose ends were tied up. I mean you never know what can happen on any given day. And you would think after losing her son to drugs, she would of said life is so short, let me clean up my act. Or at least tied up all the leagl crap of her so called life.

[Ms.Behavin]

yep I knew it. The reason she went to the Bahamas to have Dannilynn was because she was strung out on methadone. The press just released the Dr's name that prescribed the methadone 9 days before the baby was born. Where the he!! were all the people who cared about her or the baby? I mean she must of had to face at least 5 people a day while she was prego, and no one put an end to that!! I saw some pictures of the Dannilynn and she is sooooo sweet. Such a little angel. This just makes me so sick to my stomach. The life and he!! Dannilynn will have to face because of Anna. 

[Luna]

Well thank goodness Dannilynn is just a baby. Hopefully all this crap will be way over with by the time she's grown up. At least she's young and doesnt have to deal with any of the issues. I hope by the time she is grown that she wont even realize all of the crap that took place.

I heard on the radio this morning that now some dude in prison said he gave Anna some of his sperm ( I know that word won't show up, but the stuff that makes you pregnant) LOL  And he is filing for a paternity test. I need to find out who that is..someone who is doing 7 months for something. I just caught the froze sperm part and file a suit part.

Attached is a copy of ANS will.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida (CNN) -- Anna Nicole Smith left everything to her son Daniel, who died in September, according to a will released Friday by a Florida court.

She also named longtime companion Howard K. Stern executor, according to the 22-page document, written in 2001.

The will was never updated. It does not mention Smith's 5-month-old daughter, Dannielynn.

As executor, Stern is authorized set up and oversee a trust on behalf of Smith's children, and to make investments on its behalf.

The document is signed "Vicky Lynn Marshall," the name Smith used before assuming her professional name.

Smith's heirs would receive distributions at ages 21, 25 and 30.

The judge overseeing the dispute over the former Playmate's burial ordered attorneys to file a copy of the will, which has been the subject of intense speculation since Smith's sudden death eight days ago.

The document could be crucial to giving Stern the legal standing to determine Smith's final resting place -- the subject of a contentious courtroom battle between Stern and her Smith's estranged mother, Vergie Arthur.

Stern's attorneys say Smith bought a plot in the Bahamas, next to the plot where her son, Daniel, is buried. He died in September, three days after Smith's baby daughter, Dannielynn, was born at a Bahamas hospital.

Broward Circuit Judge Larry Seidlin also signed an order Friday to have Smith's refrigerated remains embalmed.

"We're beginning to give her peace," Seidlin said.

The procedure will be done Friday under heavy security at the Broward County Medical Examiner's office in nearby Dania Beach.

Meanwhile, the courtroom battle over Smith's affairs continued for a third day on Friday, with more days of contentious arguments to come. Any decision about releasing her body for burial isn't likely until next week at the earliest.

Seidlin ordered Stern to appear at the hearing Tuesday, and he is expected to testify. His lawyer, Krista Barth, argued unsuccessfully to have him appear by video phone from the Bahamas, where he is caring for Dannielynn.

Meanwhile, court-appointed administrator Shane Kelley began interviewing the parties to prepare for the hearing, which will serve as a mini-trial. Kelley will recommend to the judge who should receive Smith's remains for burial.

Outside the courtroom, the circus-like atmosphere surrounding the former TV reality show star's sudden death continued.

As speculation swirled over the will, another man, a former body guard, stepped forward to claim possible paternity of Smith's infant daughter.

No death certificate
Ron Rale, an attorney who represented Smith in a California paternity case, told CNN's Larry King that Stern is not named as a beneficiary in Smith's will.

"Larry, I would like to reveal it on your show. Another little tidbit. I think everybody will see that Howard Stern is not a beneficiary of that will," Rale said.

Smith's estate has not yet been opened because authorities have not yet issued a death certificate, attorneys told Seidlin on Thursday.

On Friday, Seidlin directed that the will be filed in connection with the burial dispute so it can be entered into evidence.

Smith wanted to be buried in the Bahamas, attorneys for Stern insist. Smith's estranged mother wants to take the body home to Texas for burial in the family plot, her attorneys say.

The two sides swapped barbs as they argued in court over everything from custody of the body to DNA sampling to whether a baby can be considered next of kin under Florida law. (Watch the contentious hearing played out before the cameras )

Seidlin, the judge, has displayed affable aplomb as he tries to sort through a tangle of legal arguments and competing interests. He has referred to the squabbling lawyers as "a good group" and Smith as "beautiful."

Bickering lawyers
Besides the lawyers for Stern and Arthur, there are attorneys for Smith, daughter Dannielynn, and Smith's former lover, Larry Birkhead, who is seeking a paternity test to prove he is Dannielynn's father. (Watch CNN's Jeff Toobin try to untangle the legal mess )

The lawyers have frequently traded barbs.

"The woman sitting across from me was estranged from her daughter. I have people who loved her," sniffed Barth, attorney for Stern, on Thursday. "She stands here today to take her to Texas and put her in the ground all alone. It's sad and it's sick."

Retorted Arthur's lawyer, Stephen Tunstall: "Counsel is trying to trash my client in some kind of emotional appeal. My client is her mother. She wants to take her back to Texas to be buried with the rest of the family. She has the right."

And so it went, all day Thursday for half a day on Friday and, from the looks of things, for many more days to come. The judge worked hard to keep things on track.

"We're trying to balance the rights and respect of the body with the legal issues," Seidlin said. "When we bury her, I want it to be forever,"

The judge has appointed a guardian, Miami attorney Richard Milstein, to protect the interests of Smith's infant daughter, Dannielynn. He also appointed Kelley, a Fort Lauderdale lawyer, to sort through the competing interests and advise him.

Witnesses, including people close to Smith, are expected to testify Tuesday.

Who's the father?
Birkhead and Stern each claim to be the father of Smith's nearly 6-month-old daughter, Dannielynn. Stern's name is on the birth certificate.

Smith's former bodyguard, Alexander Denk, told CNN's Larry King that he, too, could be Dannielynn's father, saying he and Smith had an off-and-on relationship for years.

Denk is the fourth person to claim he could be the child's father. Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband, Frederic von Anhalt, has said he and Smith had a decade-long affair and that he could have fathered the child. He filed court papers seeking a paternity test on Thursday.

Seidlin repeated several times that the most important issue to his court was the welfare of the baby. He also stressed the importance of maintaining dignity.

"We want to preserve the beauty and model figure of Ms. Smith," he said. "Beauty was important to her, as you all have indicated to me, and we want her to look beautiful when she is placed in her final resting place."

Smith, 39, died February 8 after she was found unconscious in her room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino near Hollywood, Florida.

Among the issues the attorneys wrangled over was whether Stern had legal standing to determine a burial place, or even to take part in the proceedings; and who was Smith's next-of-kin under Florida law.

Tunstall, the attorney for Smith's mother, argued that Dannielynn did not qualify because a child must be over 18 to be legally considered next-of-kin.

The release of Smith's body -- and even the embalming process -- was delayed because attorneys for Birkhead wanted a DNA sample for a paternity test.

The judge ordered an additional sample be taken.

Good gawd...that was long.  How much y'all want to bet the real father will never be revealed?  I don't think Howard Stern is the daddy...she got close again with him right before the baby was born and she was having problems with the house in the Bahamas, which makes me wonder why he gets to live in it?  I don 't know it's all a big mess.  I'm glad I don't sleep around.  :)))

I pray that this lil baby of hers grows up with hopefully a different look on life then Anna did. I think that's what disturbed me most about her, how she lived her life thinking beauty was what the world wanted her to be. She was a beautiful person but I really didn't approve of all her make overs as I feel it changes u on the inside and for sum reason (my opinion) she did it all for the wrong reasons. I just hope her daughter grows up to be herself an not what others think u must be. *hope that all makes sense* lol
