Heche’s estate can’t settle debts, son says
Anne Heche’s estate cannot currently settle its debts, her son claimed in new court documents.
Homer Laffoon, the late actor’s 22-year-old son and the executor of the estate, said in legal documents obtained by The Times that his mother’s estate is “not in a condition to be closed.” The report, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, details the makeup of Heche’s estate and several creditor claims, including those stemming from the August 2022 car crash that killed the actor and set fire to a Mar Vista home.
“Based on the anticipated value of the combined inventories and appraisals, and the filed predator claims, the estate is insolvent,” Laffoon, the son of Heche and ex-husband Coley Laffoon, said.
The actor’s assets totaled to approximately $110,000, according to legal documents.
Heche, who was an Emmy and Tony nominated actor, succumbed to her car crash injuries on Aug. 11, 2022. She was 53.
In November 2023, a Los Angeles woman living in the Mar Vista home destroyed by Heche sued the actor’s estate. Lynne Mishele is one of three people who filed $2 million claims against the actor’s estate. Legal documents show that Jennifer and John Durand, who own the Mar Vista home, are the other two claimants.
