Anne Heche’s son Homer Laffoon revealed money problems following his mother’s death in 2022.
The 22-year-old claims his late mother’s estate cannot pay her outstanding debts, meaning it cannot be closed until the balance is paid.
The “Another World” actress, 53, died following a fiery car crash in Los Angeles, California on August 5, 2022. After being in a coma, the state released her declared legally dead a week later.
In court documents obtained by ET, Heche’s son, who is the administrator of his late mother’s estate, said the estate was “not yet in a state to be closed” because she could not pay pending charges.
Laffoon claims Heche’s estate consists of a “modest bank account, royalty payments and other residual income from pre-death projects,” according to court documents.
The estate has been hit by seven claims filed by creditors, three of which seek $2 million.
One of the complaints was filed by the couple who own the home Heche crashed into during the fatal crash, while another is a woman who was renting the property at the time.
Heche’s ex, Thomas Jane, is also among the creditors, who are seeking $149,106.04, according to the documents.
With an estate sale imminent, Laffoon said he is “actively engaged in attempts to negotiate appropriate settlements for claims against the estate.”
He added that with creditor claims totaling $6 million, the estate is struggling to repay its growing debt.
Laffoon added that sales of his mother’s posthumous memoir “Call Me Anne” were “not strong” – and generated less than $25,000 in profit.
Nonetheless, Laffoon said he was “cautiously optimistic that the creditors’ claims can all be resolved fairly and without litigation.”
The Post has reached out to Laffoon’s attorney for comment.
This comes as the house Heche’s vehicle crashed into was restored and re-listed this week.
Nestled in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles, the property is on the market for $1.35 million.
The house, which has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, was completely restored two years after the fatal accident.
