According to Forbes, in an article titled “Court Ruling Likely Ends Anna Nicole Smith Estate’s Fight For Marshall Family Millions,” all that was left to litigate in the case was a $500,000 fine Smith was ordered to pay.

For what?

A judge had ruled her suit to be “frivolous” against Howard’s estate.

Nevertheless, that matter was taken up before a Texas appellate court. It recently determined that the fine was improperly made.

Many think this will be the end of the fight.

However, it is possible that the language of the court’s ruling left open the door for Smith’s estate to continue its challenge of Marshall’s estate.

Smith’s estate has not yet announced any plans one way or another.
