Anne Heche’s Son Reveals Estate’s Money Troubles Following Mother’s Death
Homer Laffoon, the Son of Anne Heche, Faces Financial Issues After Her Passing
Homer Laffoon, the 22-year-old son of the late actress Anne Heche, has recently disclosed financial challenges regarding his mother’s estate. Anne Heche passed away in a tragic car accident in Los Angeles on August 5, 2022, and was declared legally dead a week later. Homer Laffoon has taken on the role of administrator for his late mother’s estate.
Homer Laffoon has revealed that there are outstanding debts that the estate is unable to pay. Due to these pending charges, the estate cannot be closed until the balance has been settled. Court documents obtained by ET confirm Laffoon’s statement, adding that the estate’s financial situation is not yet suitable for closure.
Financial Situation of Anne Heche’s Estate
According to the court documents, Anne Heche’s estate consists of a modest bank account, royalty payments, and other residual income from her pre-death projects. As a result, the estate is currently unable to pay off its mounting debt. Seven claims have been filed against the estate by various creditors, with three of them seeking a total of $2 million. Creditors include the owners of the property Heche’s car crashed into, a woman who was renting the property at the time, and Heche’s ex-husband Thomas Jane, who is seeking $149,106.04.
Homer Laffoon, as the administrator of the estate, is actively working towards negotiating appropriate settlements in order to resolve the claims. However, the estate’s debts currently amount to approximately $6 million – an amount that poses significant challenges for payment.
Son’s Struggle with the Estate’s Financial Situation
Homer Laffoon shared that the sales of his mother’s posthumous memoir, “Call Me Anne,” did not perform strongly, generating less than $25,000 in profit. These results add to the financial strain the estate is currently facing.
Laffoon, though remaining cautiously optimistic, acknowledges the potential for litigation if the creditor claims are not resolved fairly. Despite the difficulties, he is committed to finding solutions to the mounting debts.
Recovery of the Crash Site Property
In a separate development, the home where Anne Heche’s vehicle crashed has undergone restoration and is now listed for sale. The property, nestled in Los Angeles’ Mar Vista neighborhood, is currently on the market for $1.35 million. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom house has been fully restored, two years after the tragic incident.
