LOS ANGELES (AP) - A judge in Los Angeles ruled today AnnaNicole Smith's daughter will inherit the former Playboy model's
estate.
Eighteen-month-old Dannielynn Hope was named sole heir by the
judge, who also set up a trust in the child's name.
Her father, Larry Birkhead, and Smith's executor, Harry K.
Stern, will be co-trustees.
Smith drafted a will in 2001 - five years before the girl was
born in the Bahamas- that left her estate to her then-only son,
Daniel.
But the will said the assets in Daniel's trust should be shared
equally if she had future children.
Daniel died in 2006, three days after Dannielynn was born.
Smith died last year in Florida of an accidental drug overdose.
Dannielynn could inherit millions if the estate wins an ongoing
court fight over a will by Smith's wealthy second husband.
