How TERRIBLE! Now there is going to be a media frenzy over who gets to legally claim Anna Nicole Smith's body! I guess anyone and everyone who has been in contact with her will try to take ownership. Roy Black was interviewed by The Early Show and had this to say:

"This is one of those wonderful thorny legal questions that we lawyers love. I think what the judge is going to have to do is first take a look at the will," Black said. "If, in the will, she says how and where she wants to be buried, then that's going to be a preeminent. However, without that, it goes to the next of kin. The next of kin is the child, which is 5-months-old, so then you have to look at the guardian or parent. Howard K. Stern is listed as the father.

"So, right now he's going to be making the decisions, unless, and I say unless, the judge says, 'OK I'm not convinced that Howard is the father, other guardian, and I want DNA testing,' then it could take weeks for the determination." (source)
