From your article AC ..... there's another story that Bindi can't collect money, because she has to prove her father is dead. ?? What is that all about?

Bindi Irwin is swamped in legal red tape after a judge rejected her "Dancing with the Stars" contract for lack of proof her famous father is dead.
The Los Angeles County judge shot down the contract for the 17-year-old on Tuesday, saying that without proper evidence her father has "irrevocably and perpetually" relinquished all claim to her earnings, "the court is unable to find that it is in the best interest of the minor to be bound by the terms of the contract."
The ruling by Judge Maren Nelson surprised fans because Bindi's "Crocodile Hunter" dad Steve Irwin was a beloved TV celebrity who generated international headlines when he died in September 2006 after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb.
A court source said the high-profile death was beside the point.
"All the paperwork has to be sufficient," the source said. "Legally you have to have paperwork associated with the filing."
