In the Anna Nicole Smith case this was obviously not done. Most Americans do not think about what will happen if they die. It causes lots of problems for family members. If everyone would do a will or trust it would make things much easier for families.

This is not my area of practice so it would be recommended to seek the advice of an estate planning lawyer.

With respect to Grandparents rights; they can petition to the Court for custody or visitation but there is virtually no chance that they would prevail against a paternal parent.

I wish I could comment on all of the issues you brought up but I do not have the time!! I can tell you this, most of the best lawyers in our nation, you have probably never heard of! Some lawyers become celebrities, and some just kick ass and go about their business without ever getting fame. I for one disdain fame. I just do my job!

With respect to Dog the bounty hunter being sent by California, I think not. California could issue an order that the child be brought to California for DNA testing, but whether the Bahamas which is a separate country, would honor a California order is a separate subject all together. California could order custody that Birkhead gets custody, but enforcing it in another nation is another matter.

We will just have to wait and see how this plays out.

We will soon see what happens next. I hear Smith’s first husband has filed a petition to have the body of his son back to Texas. Who knows how many lawsuits will arise from this fiasco.

I am on findlaw too. Later I will probably go check out my profile to see if it needs updating!!

With respect to DNA in the Bahamas. I am sure that they have the facilities to do a DNA test. Or their courts could order that a test be done at a certified mainland lab. The issue is the Bahamas ordering that a DNA test be conducted. Someone would need to swab the inside of the infants mouth to get her DNA, a sample would need to be taken from each of the guys claiming to be the father, etc. It is not rocket science anymore.

As far as attorneys fees, I heard one of Sterns family members in an interview saying that he was using his own money and the family was borrowing money for attorneys fees. Who knows.

Norm

The findlaw thing is real odd because that would be the last thing I would be thinking about if I were in his shoes. But then again, maybe he knew people would be looking into him because of his statements that he was the father ect. Maybe he was covering his own ass?

As far as findlaw, it would probably take me a while to figure out what password I used for my own profile!

Who knows maybe if enough people start asking questions, an investigation will start.

Norm

I did not know about the change of the findlaw profile! Does not smell right does it? The whole thing does not smell right.

On another not I have no clue how long it has been since I changed mine! I would have to figure out how.

Anyway, thanks for posting your comment.

Really like your site here Norm.

Check ya later!

Birkhead is a noted photographer in his own right. He does have a daily job, unlike Stern. His stated annual income during the hearings was well over $250k annually so that would get ya to the Bahamas a few times a year. He’s actually the only person who owns any ‘rights’ to the photos he was hired to shoot of ANS. Again, unlike Stern selling anything he can get his hands on. Hopefully they will get that babys DNA tested & get her to the rightful father soon.

I’m very interested in not only who, but when, they’ll all be back in CA fighting for the old man’s $$$ fortune? The Supreme Court reversal was huge. Rale & Stern are both on retainer for 6% & 4% respectively in that case so I read. Big money.
