The estate of late actress Anne Heche is facing insolvency, with debts totaling over $6 million. Her son Homer Laffoon, the estate’s proprietor, has filed court documents stating that it is not yet in a condition to be closed.
Heche’s assets include a modest bank account, royalty payments, and personal property items, but their appraised value currently stands at approximately $110,000. Laffoon reports that Heche’s posthumous memoir, “Call Me Anne,” has not performed well, with estimated income falling short of $25,000.
The estate is facing claims from seven creditors, including the owners and renter of the home where Heche crashed her car in August 2022, resulting in her death. These creditors are seeking $2 million each, while Heche’s ex-boyfriend Thomas Jane has also filed a claim for a $150,000 loan.
Laffoon is negotiating with creditors to avoid costly litigation and is optimistic about resolving the claims without court intervention.
Heche reportedly did not have a will, and Laffoon requested control of his mother’s estate shortly after her death. The court filing says Heche’s estate may not be closed until at least July 2025.
