Body of Chess Legend Exhumed for Paternity Test

Back in 2008, chess legend Bobby Fisher was laid to rest in his new home country of Iceland.  He never left a will to settle matters of his estate prior to his death.  Now, Iceland's Supreme Court has granted permission for Fisher's body to be exhumed. 

According to reports, the body will be exhumed so a DNA sample can be collected for a paternity test.  The result of the test will most likely determine who is to inherit Fisher's estate.  In order to prove paternity, people may seek an Order of Paternity from the courts, which is exactly what happened in the Fisher case.  The DNA sample that is collected will be used to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, if Fisher has a paternal relationship to a child.
