In the documents filed in Los Angeles Superior court, Stern stated: “Petitioner believes that the Decedent's intent in transferring title to the Corporation was to protect her privacy, and that she inadvertently used the Corporation as the entity to do so rather than establishing a new entity for the purpose of owning the Home.”

Stern also stated that “Anna Nicole and her daughter. Danielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead, resided in the Home. For continuity, following Anna Nicole's death, Danielynn, a minor who is also the sole beneficiary of the Estate, and Larry E. Birkhead, Danneilynn's natural father, have resided in the Home and continue to do so. The Home therefore has not generated income for the Estate”

Stern claims that since Smith’s death, “the Estate has made all mortgage, utility and hazard insurance payments on the Home.”
