Anne Heche’s Estate Faces Insolvency Amid Creditor Claims
The estate of late actress Anne Heche is currently unable to settle its debts, according to court documents filed by her son, Homer Laffoon. The 22-year-old executor details the estate’s assets and liabilities, revealing that it holds approximately $110,000 in assets and faces several creditor claims.
These include those stemming from the August 2022 car crash that claimed Heche’s life and ignited a fire at a Mar Vista home. The crash also resulted in a $2 million claim against the estate filed by Lynne Mishele, a Los Angeles woman whose home was destroyed in the fire. Two other creditors, Jennifer and John Durand, the owners of the Mar Vista home, have also filed $2 million claims.
Ex-boyfriend Thomas Jane is among the other creditors seeking payment from the estate. Laffoon, the son of Heche and ex-husband Coley Laffoon, is working to negotiate settlements with creditors. However, sales of Heche’s posthumous memoir, ‘Call Me Anne,’ have fallen short of expectations, further complicating the estate’s financial situation.
Heche, an Emmy- and Tony-nominated actress, died on August 11, 2022, from injuries sustained in the car crash. She was 53 years old. A legal representative for Laffoon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
