A Henderson woman says she’s willing to serve as the administrator of Stephen Paddock’s estate.

Donna VanOrman-Wasano made the surprise announcement just before the start of Friday morning’s court hearing.

VanOrman-Wasano doesn’t have a connection to any of the victims, or to Paddock, but says she’s offering her services as a way to help the victims.

ommissioner Wesley Yamashita took no action, and scheduled a new hearing date in December, before a district court judge.

Eric Paddock, Stephen’s brother, was also present in court, but didn’t speak during the hearing.

Stephen Paddock’s heirs have indicated the estate, estimated to be worth $5 million, should be distributed to victims of the Route 91 concert shooting.

Paddock died without a will, according to court documents.

A probate court commissioner in Las Vegas denied a bid Friday by one of B.B. King’s adult daughters to obtain the late blues icon’s medical records from an executor who she alleges mishandled her father’s finances and health before he died.

Patty King can use her position as a party in ongoing probate proceedings to subpoena the records she wants, Clark County Family Court Commissioner Wesley Yamashita said. He said he didn’t need to issue a court order.

Brent Bryson, attorney for B.B. King’s estate, told the judge that Patty King was fishing for evidence to support false claims the musician’s longtime business manager and power-of-attorney, LaVerne Toney, looted his accounts and hastened his death on May 14 at age 89. Toney is now executor of the estate.
