After Anne Heche’s Tragic Death, Son Homer Works to Untangle Her Financial Mess

Tragic actress Anne Heche left a financial mess for her eldest son, Homer Laffoon, who is figuring out a way to pay over $4 million in claims.

In a March 27 report about the estate’s status, Homer, 23, notes that it “is not yet in a condition to be closed” because of “numerous sources of income” and a “lack of records or financial organization.”

Even after selling his mom’s personal items, the sad situation appears to be that the late star’s net worth was roughly $300,000, which is short of the claims against her estate.

The Six Days, Seven Nights actress died in August 2022 at age 53, days after she crashed her car into a house in West Los Angeles. The resident of the home and owners each sued the estate for $2 million in damages. Along with that $4 million, Heche’s ex-boyfriend Thomas Jane filed a $149,106 claim for a loan he says she never paid back.

“Based on the anticipated value of the combined inventories and appraisals and the filed creditors claims, the estate is insolvent,” Homer states in the report.

Heche, who famously dated Ellen DeGeneres for a few years, left behind Homer, her son with ex-husband Coleman Laffoon, and his half-brother Atlas, 16, from her relationship with actor James Tupper.

“Hopefully my mom is free from pain and beginning to explore what I like to imagine as her eternal freedom,” Homer posted shortly after her death. “Rest in Peace Mom. I love you.”
