Anna Nicole's Last Wishes

As the battle for possession of Anna Nicole Smith's remains heats up, her partner Howard K. Stern says that she wished to be buried next to her son Daniel who died on Sept. 10 and that her estate will go to her daughter, Dannielynn.

"After Daniel died, we had this discussion. I know what Anna wants. I am going to carry those (wishes) out," Stern told "Entertainment Tonight."

"She wanted to be near Daniel and she wanted (Howard) to have the baby that is theirs," Stern's sister Bonnie Stern confirmed.

According to TMZ, Smith's estranged mother, Virgie Arthur, has retained counsel to obtain Smith's body.

Bonnie Stern says that Smith would "turn over in her grave" if her body was released to her mother.

Smith claimed that her mother abused her.

"You want to hear all the things she did to me? All the beatings and whippings? That's my mother," Smith said in an interview airing on ET Wednesday. "That's my mom."

Stern said that the division of Smith's estate, which could include an award in her battle for a portion of her ex-husband J. Howard Marshall II's millions, is detailed in a will executed in 2001.

"Everything went to her son, Daniel," said Stern. "But now because Daniel is gone, and Dannielynn is her only child… everything goes to Dannielynn. Everything. I am named as the executor."
