Richard Milstein

Anna Nicole Smith will be buried in the Bahamas next to her son Daniel.

Richard Milstein, the court-appointed guardian of Dannielynn Smith, announced the burial plans this week.

Remarkably, we haven't heard much about Mr. Milstein during the media storm that surrounds Anna Nicole Smith. Here is what I found in a press release by his lawfirm, Akerman Senterfitt :

Akerman Senterfitt shareholder Richard C. Milstein has been appointed guardian ad litem to Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, the five-month-old baby of the late Vickie Lynn Marshall, a.k.a. Anna Nicole Smith. Mr. Milstein was appointed by Judge Larry Seidlin of the Broward County Circuit Court. The appointment was made to provide a voice for the deceased's surviving child and to act in the best interest of the child in relevant court proceedings.

Mr. Milstein has been practicing law for more than 30 years and has handled numerous complex and high profile guardianship and probate matters. His practice focuses on Trusts, Estates, Guardianship Litigation and Administration, Family and Marital Law, Alternative Dispute Resolution, as well as Alternative Family Planning, Children's Rights, Elder Law, Probate Law and Same Sex Couple Planning. In his work in family law, he has represented clients of significant means as well as children in disputed relationships, and has performed thousands of hours of pro bono work.
