Anne Heche's Assets Uncovered By Her Son Amid Dealing With Creditors

Anne Heche's son, Homer Laffoon, makes a vital discovery in his late mother's ongoing case.

The late actress' son declared that there were assets worth 5 figures left behind by his mother, which were not initially proclaimed.

Anne Heche's son's new revelations come more than two years after she died and the earlier claims to creditors that the estate was bankrupt last year.

Anne's eldest son, Homer, revealed he discovered more assets belonging to his mother as he continues to wrap up her estate over two years after her death. Homer reportedly submitted a new collation of all of Anne's assets, which she left behind when she died on August 11, 2022.

The actress' son claimed the assets were worth an estimated $92,500 as he broke down the content on the list. Homer announced that the assets consist of a full ownership stake in Celestia Films, valued at $50,000. 

In addition, he shared that there is a 50 percent ownership in Anne & Heather Ink LLC, a company linked to her podcast with Heather Duffy. Furthermore, the property includes $25,000 worth of household furniture located in a condo in Downtown Los Angeles.

The estate has also reportedly generated a total of $10,000 in residual income. Additionally, it has earned $1,500 in royalties from the actress's 2001 memoir, "Call Me Crazy," and $5,000 from her 2023 sequel, "Call Me Anne."

In Touch reported the actress's son also made similar claims in 2023, including disclosing an increase of $110,000 in assets. Homer shared that he had discovered several uncashed royalty checks, one of which amounted to $25,000 and another $76,000 held in a bank account.

Homer emerged as the beneficiary of Anne's estate alongside Atlas Tupper, who she had with her former partner James Tupper. James vehemently opposed Homer's appointment, and as Anne did not leave behind a will stating her intentions, her former partner headed to court.

James presented an email, which he asserted was sent by Anne, designating him as the administrator of her estate. However, Homer dismissed the email, pointing out that it did not carry his mother's signature.

Anne was involved in a serious car accident in Los Angeles, where she crashed into a home. Following the incident, she was taken to the hospital due to severe injuries. Unfortunately, despite efforts to save her, she passed away nine days later.

As reported by The Blast, Homer's first duty as administrator was declaring to creditors that his mother had left behind a very small estate and was essentially incapable of paying off her debts. In his filing,  Homer explained:

"Due to the numerous sources of income, coupled with the lack of records or financial organization by [Anne], royalty payment procedures in the entertainment industry, and the relatively unusual circumstances of [Anne's] passing and the resulting potential litigation, it has taken a substantial amount of time and effort to move the administration forward."

Homer further clarified the delay claims, revealing that his mother left behind a small sum in her bank account, residual income from pre-death projects, her personal property, and some income from other ventures, all of which were worth $110,000.

Homer requested additional time to address the claims made by creditors, expressing a desire to prevent lengthy legal disputes regarding the issue.

In August 2023, a woman who lived in the house where the collision happened filed a claim alongside the property's owners. Together, these claims total $6 million. 

The actress's former boyfriend, Thomas Jane, also filed his own creditor's claim. He revealed that he lent the actress $157,000 in November 2022 and that she agreed to repay him at a rate of $10,000 per month.

She, however, stopped fulfilling her financial obligations after making the initial two installment payments. Thomas's lawsuit sought a reimbursement of the outstanding amount.

At the time of her death, the actress was grappling with significant financial difficulties, including over $36,000 in unpaid credit card debts.

In his legal filing, Homer pointed out that, considering the expected value of the estate's combined inventories and appraisals alongside the claims made by creditors, the estate was deemed insolvent.

In the case that won him the right to oversee his mother's estate, Homer was granted specific permissions, including "possession of all the personal property of the estate of the decedent and preserve it from damage, waste, and injury."

The Blast noted in 2023 that Homer was tasked with relocating her belongings to a storage facility and keeping an inventory of the items within a specified timeframe. 

Additionally, he was authorized to protect her earnings from her book publication, "Call Me Anne,"which was released in January 2023. 

The court also granted him access to her financial records and the responsibility of filing her tax returns. Homer could also initiate, maintain, or defend legal actions on the late author's behalf.
