Anne Heche's son Homer claims late actress left only $110K in assets as he tries to settle $6M debts

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Anne Heche’s son Homer is opening up in court about the troubles he is facing in attempting to resolve creditors’ claims that have mounted since the entertainer’s death in August 2022. 

Homer, who is the administrator of his late mother’s estate, recently filed documents to the court asking for more time to resolve the matters “fairly and without litigation," per RadarOnline.

Anne Heche died in August 2022

Anne Heche was involved in a crash in August 2022 when she rammed her car into a home in Los Angeles on August 5. She was transported to the hospital with severe injuries.

However, after the Daytime Emmy winner was declared brain dead, she was taken off life support. 

Though it was reported during then she was under the influence of cocaine, in subsequent reports, a representative for the Los Angeles Medical Examiner said there was “no evidence of impairment by illicit substances at the time of the crash."

It was declared that she died due to inhalation and thermal injuries.

Anne Heche’s estate is dealing with $6 million creditors’ claims

While the beneficiaries of the actress’ estates are Homer and Heche’s younger son - Atlas, whom she shared with her former partner James Tupper - the estate’s administrator remains her older son. 

Following the ‘Volcano’ actress’ tragic death, her estate was slammed with creditors’ claims amounting to a total of $6 million.

The homeowners of the property in which Heche slammed her car on the fateful day along with the woman who lived there filed a claim against the estate.

Apart from that, Heche’s ex-boyfriend Thomas Jane also demanded an unpaid amount from the estate. He claimed that Heche took a loan of $157K from him which the actress promised to repay at the rate of $10K per month. 

He claimed the payment stopped after Heche paid him the first two installments.

Homer explained in his recent filing per RadarOnline, “Due to numerous sources of income, coupled with the lack of records of financial organization by [Anne], royalty payments procedures in the entertainment industry, and the relatively unusual circumstances of [Anne’s] passing and the resulting potential litigations, it has taken a substantial amount of time and effort to move the administration forward.”

He claimed his mother left behind assets worth a paltry sum of $110K, including a modest bank balance, royalty payments, and other residual income from pre-death projects, a corporation in which Anne was the sole shareholder, an LLC membership interest in a podcast she helped create, and her personal property.

He also said that His mother’s memoir ‘Call Me Anne’ - which was published posthumously - failed to create much hype resulting in a dwindling royalty figure.

Admitting that he has been monitoring sales reports and collecting royalty payments, Homer noted “Sales are not strong and only a very modest amount of total income is anticipated for the project.” He gave the figure to be less than $25k.

Homer further added that he is “actively engaged in attempts to negotiate appropriate settlement of the claims against the Estate, and has engaged in substantial meet and confer efforts with the creditors in an attempt to avoid protracted and expensive litigation against the Estate.”

The filing concluded, “Administrator is cautiously optimistic that the creditor claims can all be resolved fairly and without litigation.”
