Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter will inherit her late mother’s estate.
A Los Angeles judge on Tuesday not only made 18-month-old Dannielynn Hope the sole heir, but also set up a trust in the girl’s name.
Her father, Larry Birkhead, and Smith’s executor, Howard K. Stern, will be co-trustees.
Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff granted a petition filed by Stern, who wanted to clarify Smith’s intentions toward her daughter. Smith drafted a will in 2001 — five years before the child was born — that left her estate to her then only child, Daniel. However, it said the assets in Daniel’s trust should be shared equally if she had future children.
