Anne Heche's Son Claims Estate Can't Pay Outstanding Debts
HuffPost
Homer Laffoon, 22, reportedly claimed in a court filing that there isn't enough money to satisfy the numerous lawsuits stemming from his mother's fatal crash.
Homer Laffoon, Anne Heche’s eldest child, is purportedly unable to pay his late mother’s debts.
The 22-year-old claimed in court documents obtained Tuesday by People that Heche’s estate, of which he was officially named general administrator in 2022 after a lengthy legal battle, is “not yet in a condition to be closed.”
The estate reportedly consists of a “modest bank account, royalty payments and other residual income from pre-death projects,” as well as some business arrangements related to Heche’s career and a podcast.
Heche was best known for starring in “Donnie Brasco,” “Volcano” and “Six Days, Seven Nights” opposite Johnny Depp, Tommy Lee Jones and Harrison Ford, respectively. She died after crashing her car, which then caught fire, into a Los Angeles home in 2022.
Laffoon won the legal battle over her estate with Heche’s ex-boyfriend James Tupper, but according to the documents cited by People, there aren’t enough funds left to pay off the lawsuits resulting from Heche’s crash.
