Anna Nicole's former lover and lawyer filed the papers - naming him as the will's executor - at a Los Angeles probate court, stating her total assets to be worth $710,000.
The will - which was drawn up in April 2001 - leaves everything to Anna Nicole's son Daniel who died last September of an accidental overdose in the Bahamas.
Daniel, 20, was visiting his mother just days after she had given birth to daughter Dannielynn when he died.
Anna Nicole's ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead, 34, was proven by DNA test results to be the father of eight-month-old Dannielynn on April 10.

Anna Nicole died on February 8 from an accidental overdose at Florida's Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
Meanwhile, Birkhead filed a separate petition at a Los Angeles Superior Court yesterday formally requesting to be named as guardian of Dannielynn's estate.
Los Angeles probate attorney Allan Cutrow said: "What this means - if granted - is that Stern as the executor will have to deal with Birkhead on any matters pertaining to Anna Nicole's estate.
"Birkhead and Stern appear to be cooperating in pursuit of Anna Nicole Smith's claim against the Marshall estate - that's where the principal money is."
Anna Nicole's estate could be worth much more because of her decade-long court battle for the estimated $1.6 billion estate of her late husband, Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II.
A hearing was set for June 19 regarding Stern and Birkhead's respective filings.
Anna Nicole Smith’s bodyguard is all set to write a book about his companionship with the late model.
Moe Brighthaupt, who served as Smith’s bodyguard from 2003 until her death, has finalized a book deal with Harper Entertainment in America.
According to sources, the book will dwell upon Smith’s extensive drug use, and her acute depression after her son’s death.
Meanwhile US cops investigating Smith’s death recently ruled out that she was murdered, saying that her death was a result of an accidental drug overdose.
A spokesman for the police, Charlie Tiger, said in Seminole, Florida, that the analysis of the laptop of Anna Nicole’s partner Howard K. Stern did not furnish any evidence of play theory.
Coroner Dr. Joshua Perper said that the late model’s blood test revealed the presence of nine prescription drugs, including three for depression.
NEW YORK (March 22) - In an e-mail sent after the death of her son, Daniel, Anna Nicole Smith said that she wanted to die.
According to a report from "Entertainment Tonight," Smith's friends say they received an e-mail dated Oct. 8, 2006, that said, "I just wish I could be going thru good times now. I miss him. I want to die!"
Sources tell the entertainment show that Smith's companion, Howard K Stern, has cooperated with authorities and has given them permission to look at a computer, which they are examining.
The cause of the model's death has not yet been announced by the Florida Medical Examiner's office.
The medical examiner's findings have been delayed because of additional evidence.
CBS News has learned that the results of the autopsy could be announced early next week.
On Feb. 9, investigators said that they found prescription medicines but no illegal drugs in Smith's hotel room.
The medical examiner ruled out any types of physical injury such as gunshot wound, asphyxiation or blunt trauma on the body.
Meanwhile, the paternity suit involving Smith's infant daughter continues. On Tuesday a Bahamian judge ordered that a DNA test be performed on Dannielynn to identify her father.

NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) -- A Bahamian judge ordered a DNA test Tuesday on Anna Nicole Smith's infant daughter to identify the girl's father, an attorney for the baby's grandmother said.
The result could end a bitter custody feud sparked by the death of the former reality TV star last month.
Larry Birkhead, an ex-boyfriend of the Playboy playmate who asked the judge to order the test on 6-month-old Dannielynn, pumped his fists in the air and jumped up and down as he emerged from the private court hearing.
"It's been a good day in court for me," he told reporters. Asked if he thought he would see the girl soon, he only smiled and winked.
Deborah Rose, an attorney for Smith's mother, Virgie Arthur, confirmed that the judge ordered the test but she and others who attended the hearing declined to describe the proceedings.
Authorities left the building after the hearing and could not immediately be reached for comment.
Smith's most recent companion, Howard K. Stern, who is listed as the father on the girl's birth certificate, left the courthouse in a black sport utility vehicle as Birkhead greeted a crowd of cheering tourists.
Smith, 39, died February 8 after collapsing in a Florida hotel. Authorities have not disclosed the cause.
Stern has been caring for the girl in the gated, waterfront home where he lived with Smith in the months before she died. The Bahamian courts have ordered Stern not to leave the country with the girl before a custody ruling.
Arthur wants to take Dannielynn from Stern, arguing she could provide a more stable home. She did not speak as she exited the courthouse and left in a white limousine.
The girl, Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, could inherit millions from the estate of Smith's late husband, Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II. Smith had been fighting his family over his estimated $500 million fortune since his death in 1995.
Frederic von Anhalt, the husband of Zsa Zsa Gabor, also says he may be Dannielynn's father. Last month, he also filed legal documents seeking a DNA test to determine if he is the father.
