Anne Heche’s assets are disputed by her son and ex-boyfriend

Anne Heche’s son Homer Laffoon and her ex-boyfriend, actor James Tupper (“Big Little Lies”), have filed a lawsuit to determine who has control over the late actress’s estate.

According to documents obtained by People magazine, Laffoon filed a petition in late August, claiming that Heche did not have a will and asking to be legally appointed executor of her estate.

However, on Thursday (September 15), a new request was filed with the Los Angeles court, this time from Tupper, claiming that Heche had a will and appointed him as executor of his estate more than ten years ago.

Tupper, who lived with Heche between 2007 and 2018 and had a child with her, says the actress sent her will to him and two others on January 25, 2011. “My wishes are that all my assets go under the control of Mr. James Tupper to be used to raise my children and then given to the children, “reads the will.

In his lawsuit, Tupper further states that Homer “is not fit” to manage his mother’s estate because he is too young. Furthermore, the document also says that Heche and Homer weren’t talking at the time, “because he dropped out of college and wasn’t working to support himself.”

Despite the claim, Heche posted a photo with her kids on her Instagram in May, at which time she allegedly wasn’t talking to Homer.

Tupper also accuses Homer of changing the locks on the actress’s apartment on the day of her death, preventing Atlas (the son of Tupper and Heche, and Homer’s half-brother) from visiting and picking up his belongings.

“[Homer] he has since refused Atlas ‘input and has not responded to Atlas’ request to fetch his clothes and computer from home [de Heche]”says the document.

The ex-boyfriend also expressed concern over Homer’s claim that Heche’s house is “empty”. “Heche’s house was full of furniture, jewelry, valuables, files and documents and their removal was not authorized in any way.”

In an interview with People, Homer’s attorney, Bryan L. Phipps, said, “We would rather see the estate administration act in court than in the media, as our legal documents speak for themselves. The court that has appointed Homer special administrator [na quinta-feira] also supports this decision “.

Homer’s lawsuit on August 31 mentioned the two brothers as the legitimate heirs of the Heche estate.

“The estate consists of two (2) heirs: Homer Heche Laffoon and Atlas Heche Tupper,” the document states. “Homer Heche Laffoon is an adult and the proposed administrator. Atlas Heche Tupper is a minor.”

It was unclear, however, whether Homer asked to be appointed guardian of Atlas (who is 13).

“James is using Atlas’ phone to put pressure on him and try to manipulate Homer,” the lawyer said in a lawsuit filed earlier this week. “James also left voicemails with a similar tone. Homer is eager to have a free conversation with Atlas, but James’s action isn’t productive.”

Anne Heche died in a car accident on August 5, which left her in a coma for a week. She was pronounced brain dead on August 11, but she temporarily remained on life support to donate her organs.
