This blog is a collection of what goes through the mind of a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a lawyer (not your lawyer), and a storyteller, all competing for attention in my head.
The golden rule applies here.

Sign of the Apocalypse?
Anna Nicole Smith won the chance to sue for her late husband's millions. Good for her. It's obvious that he wnated her to have the money, inasmuch as he didn't put her in his will. But that's neither here nor there. She is entitled to this chance!
I can't imagine that the old guy didn't know that this would happen anyway. Why the guy didn't just include her and leave her something if he didn't want her to challenge, I don't know. Poor advice from counsel?
Like a bequest with a no contest clause? Perhaps, but at the time she had some solid earning potential. Playboy pays pretty well for Playmates of the Year; I don't know how much he'd have had to put in there to make her not want to contest it.
