Anne Heche’s son, Homer Laffoon, has encountered financial obstacles in his attempts to conclude his late mother’s estate. Court documents filed by Laffoon reveal that the estate is facing outstanding creditor claims amounting to $6 million, which has hindered its closure.
Among the creditors seeking compensation are the couple whose home Heche crashed into, resulting in significant property damage. Additionally, a woman who was renting the property and lost her belongings in the incident has submitted a claim. Jane Pinker, a third creditor, is pursuing a sum of $149,106.04 from the estate.
Laffoon, who is responsible for administering the estate, has stated that it currently consists of a limited bank account, royalty payments, residual income from projects Heche completed before her passing, a corporation solely owned by the actress, an LLC membership interest related to a podcast she helped create, and tangible personal property.
Despite these assets, Laffoon estimates that their value amounts to approximately $110,000, with additional assets yet to be appraised. He has also disclosed that sales of Heche’s posthumous memoir, “Call Me Anne,” have been underwhelming, generating less than $25,000 in total revenue.
Laffoon is actively pursuing negotiations with creditors to reach acceptable settlements and avoid protracted legal proceedings. He expresses cautious optimism that these claims can be resolved fairly without resorting to litigation. Heche’s untimely passing in August 2022 has left her estate with complex financial obligations that her son is working diligently to address.
