Homer Laffoon, the 22-year-old son of late actress Anne Heche, has revealed the financial struggles surrounding her estate. According to court documents, he stated that the estate is not yet ready to be closed due to an inability to settle its debts.
The estate comprises a modest bank account, royalty payments, residual income from pre-death projects, and business arrangements connected to Heche’s career and podcast. However, these assets are insufficient to cover the legal claims arising from the fatal car crash that claimed Heche’s life in 2022.
Among the creditors seeking compensation from the estate are Jennifer and John Durand, whose house Heche crashed into, and Lynne Mishele, who was residing in the house at the time of the accident. Heche’s ex-husband, Thomas Jane, is also reportedly pursuing a claim of $149,106.04.
Laffoon’s filing indicates that sales of Heche’s posthumous memoir, “Call Me Anne,” have amounted to less than $25,000. Despite efforts to avoid lengthy and costly litigation, Laffoon expressed cautious optimism that the creditor claims could be resolved amicably and without further legal proceedings.
