The estate of Anna Nicole Smith has settled a lawsuit filed over an alleged theft from her former home in the Bahamas.
The lawsuit was filed against a South Carolina real estate magnate, his son-in-law and others, stemming from the alleged theft of items from the former Playboy Playmate’s home in the Bahamas a day after she died.
Attorneys for Howard K. Stern, Smith’s longtime personal confidante, lawyer and now the executor of her estate, filed papers in Los Angeles Superior Court asking that the settlement terms be sealed.
The defendants denied taking the items, but the parties reached an agreement ‘following protracted litigation,’ according to the new court papers filed this week.
The items are not identified in the estate’s court papers.
