The daughter of the late casino magnate Kirk Kerkorian was in court recently seeking to have her mother appointed guardian so that a will contest may proceed. The judge in the case denied the request citing an alleged history of abandonment by her mother and a lack of truthfulness in court proceedings in the past. Attorneys for the daughter will now seek the appointment of an independent guardian and are expected to nominate the former conservator of Brittany Spear’s estate. This case is further complicated by the fact that the daughter may not be the biological offspring of Kerkorian, which is supported by his denials of paternity, though he did help raise the child. A hearing on an alternative guardian is expected to be held soon.
