Anne Heche’s son Homer Laffoon tying up some loose ends.
Nearly three years after the I Know What You Did Last Summer actress died following a tragic car crash, her oldest son is making an attempt to sell her assets in order to settle $4.1 million dollars in claims against her estate.
In his second verified status report filed since he was named the permanent special administrator of his late mother’s estate in 2022 obtained by E! News, Homer stated that the “estate is not yet in a condition to be closed.”
Going on to list several creditor acclaims against the estate, the document states that the 23-year-old is “actively engaged in continued attempts to negotiate appropriate settlements of the remaining claims against the Estate, and has engaged in substantial meet and confer efforts with the creditors.”
Adding that Homer is “cautiously optimistic that the creditor claims can all be resolved fairly and without litigation,” the report concludes that the estate remains insolvent.
E! News has reached out to Homer’s reps but has not heard back.
In August 2022, the Six Days, Seven Nights actress, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department at the time, was driving at a high speed until she “struck a house, burst into flames and came to rest 30 feet inside the two-story home,” causing the building to catch fire.
And though she was taken to the hospital and brought to stable condition, things took a turn for the worse less than a week later. In a statement shared to E! News soon after, her family shared the unfortunate news that “she is not expected to survive.”
Six days after the crash, Anne had been taken off life support and pronounced legally dead at 53 years old.
"My brother Atlas and I lost our Mom," Homer said in a statement to E! News after his tragic loss. "After six days of almost unbelievable emotional swings, I am left with a deep, wordless sadness."
"Hopefully my mom is free from pain,” he continued, “and beginning to explore what I like to imagine as her eternal freedom."
But in the months following Anne’s unexpected passing, Homer was met with multiple legal complicationsregarding her estate. Since his mother died without a will, Homer petitioned to be appointed administrator of her estate, listing himself and his younger brother Atlas as the sole heirs of her assets. Two weeks later, Anne’s ex James Tupper countered with a petition to be put in charge of her estate, alleging that Anne had emailed him a copy of her will in 2011.
Nearly four months later, Los Angeles Court Judge Lee Bogdanoff named Homer the permanent administrator of his mother’s estate. But the complications didn’t stop there. The Donnie Brasco actress’ death was also followed by a series of lawsuits.
And among the filings included a $2 million lawsuit filed by Lynne Mishele, who had been renting the Mar Vista house that Anne crashed into, in which she alleged negligence, trespass and negligent infliction of emotional distress. The suit against her estate remains ongoing.
