LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Late actress Anne Heche’s eldest son, Homer Laffoon, recently revealed that he discovered additional assets of his mother amid proceedings to finalize her estate more than two years after her tragic death, In Touch reported.
As per the outlet, Homer submitted an updated list of assets on Tuesday, February 11, that her mother left behind when she died in 2022 in a road accident. The late actress' son said that the assets were worth an estimated $92,500.
Homer Laffoon discovers around $100K in hidden assets
Homer mentioned in his filing that the property includes 100 percent ownership in Celestia Films worth $50,000. Apart from that, it includes a 50 percent ownership in Anne & Heather Ink LLC and $25,000 in household furniture in a condo in Downtown LA, per the outlet.
He further revealed that the estate has earned $10,000 in residual income, $1,500 in royalties from Anne’s 2001 memoir, 'Call Me Crazy' and $5,000 in royalties from her 2023 follow-up book, 'Call Me Anne'.
Interestingly, in 2023, the actress' eldest son revealed an additional $110,000 in assets and mentioned that he uncovered several uncashed checks for royalties, including one for $25,000, and $76,000 in a bank account, according to In Touch.
Notably, Anne’s estate's beneficiaries are Homer, who she had with her ex Coleman Laffon, and Atlas Tupper, who she had with ex James Tupper.
Anne Heche was involved in a crash in August 2022 after she rammed her car into a home in Los Angeles on August 5. She was transported to the hospital with severe injuries. She was later declared brain dead and was taken off life support. She died on August 11.
Even though it was reported back then that she was under the influence of cocaine, a representative for the Los Angeles Medical Examiner said there was "no evidence of impairment by illicit substances at the time of the crash."
Homer earlier claimed Anne Heche left only $110K in assets
In April 2024, Homer opened up in court about the troubles he faced while trying to resolve creditors' claims that mounted since her mother's death.
Notably, he filed documents to the court back then asking for more time to resolve the matters “fairly and without litigation," according to RadarOnline.
After the actress' tragic death, her estate was slammed with creditors’ claims amounting to a total of $6 million. The homeowners of the property, where the actress crashed her car, along with the woman who lived there filed a claim against the estate.
Moreover, Heche’s ex-boyfriend Thomas Jane also asked for an unpaid amount from the estate. He said that Heche took a loan of $157K from him which she promised to repay at the rate of $10K per month, per the outlet.
Homer explained last year in the filing, "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 also claimed his mother left behind assets worth around $110K, including a modest bank balance, royalty payments, and other residual income from pre-death projects.
