Anne Heche’s son, Homer Laffoon, is facing financial struggles following his mother’s tragic death in a car crash in 2022. Laffoon revealed that his late mother’s estate is unable to pay its outstanding debts, which is preventing the closure of the estate.
Heche, a beloved actress, died in a fiery car crash in Los Angeles on August 5, 2022. Her death was officially declared a week later, leaving her family and fans stunned. Court documents have revealed that Heche’s estate consists of a modest bank account, royalty payments, and residual income from projects completed before her passing.
The estate has been bombarded with claims from creditors, with three seeking a total of $2 million. One of the creditors is Heche’s ex-partner, Thomas Jane, who is seeking over $100,000. Laffoon is currently in negotiations with the creditors to settle the claims, but the estate is struggling to come up with the $6 million needed to pay off all debts.
Adding to the financial woes, sales from Heche’s posthumous memoir, “Call Me Anne,” have been disappointing, generating less than $25,000 in profit. Meanwhile, the home that Heche’s vehicle crashed into has been restored and is now listed for sale for $1.35 million in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Despite the challenges, Laffoon remains cautiously optimistic that the creditor claims can be resolved fairly and without the need for litigation. The situation is a stark reminder of the complexities that can arise after the passing of a loved one, even for a Hollywood star like Anne Heche.
