Anne Heche’s eldest son has agreed to sell his late mother’s assets in order to settle a $4.1 million claim against her estate three years after her death. Homer Laffoon, 23, was named the administrator of Heche’s estate after she died in a car crash in 2022 and has spoken of the difficulty in keeping track of the actress’ finances due to her lack of proper record keeping and absence of a will while alive. However, according to court documents seen by US Weekly, Laffoon submitted an update on March 21 in which he states that her estate is “not yet in a condition to be closed” due to obligations to various creditors. Heche’s son claims to have recovered around $200,000 in tangible assets, including the contents of her bank accounts and personal belongings, which he plans to sell with the assistance of a “well-respected company.” He also claims to be receiving royalties from films his mother worked on and her autobiography, although the total proceeds are still significantly below what is required to settle her debts. Heche died at 53 after crashing her car into a home in Los Angeles. Both the house’s occupant and its owners filed two separate claims for $2 million each to cover damages to the property, while her ex-partner, actor Thomas Jane, also filed a claim for $149,10 over an unpaid loan.
