Anne Heche’s son, Homer Heche Laffoon, is making new claims amid an ongoing battle over the late star’s estate. Since the Emmy Award winner’s death, her family has been embroiled in a bitter battle over who will be in charge of her estate.
As it turns out, Homer and her late mother’s ex-boyfriend, James Tupper, have dragged each other to court, with the latter claiming that the actress, who had no will at the time of her death, left her estate. Now, Homer has returned with another appeal; and this time, it was for more responsibilities concerning his mother’s estate.
Homer Laffoon Wants More Responsibility & Money To Control Anne Heche’s Estate
In the immediate aftermath of his accident and death — after his family pulled him off life support — Heche’s name has been in many headlines. In the latest update on his family’s court drama, the “Six Days Seven Nights” actor’s son is asking to “expand his power” over his estate.
According to obtained court documents, Homer filed an ex-parte motion with the California Superior Court in Los Angeles County to increase his powers as special administrator of the estate.

The 20-year-old man, through the document, insisted that the extension of this power was “necessary” because of the “real personal property of the estate” located in the Heche flat that had to be moved as soon as possible to “avoid additional payments, costs and possible losses to the estate. “
Homer argued that by gaining more power, he would have the right to “collect all claims, rents and other incomes belonging to the estate; institute and maintain or defend suits and other legal proceedings” and “request and receive copies [the estate’s] financial records.”
The authority will also allow her to “manage, perform and enforce rights and interests” in respect of the “Better Together” podcast co-host’s book, “Call Me Anne,” which will be released in January 2023.
Homer’s plea was attached to a request for $800,000 bond just two weeks after a judge sided with him, ordering him to oversee Heche’s estate until further notice. In other documents he has filed ahead of the estate hearing, the young adult claims that his late mother is worth less than fans expected.
The Blast reports that Homer revealed that Heche only had $400,00 to his name at the time of his death. To clarify, the set amount is separate from and has nothing to do with the balance and royalties from all of his work which is assumed to be another $400,000 annually.
Homer also reveals that Heche lives in an apartment because he doesn’t own a house. His argument seemed to affect the judge, who, as we mentioned above, gave him the power to control the estate.

Tupper and her legal team hit a bump in the road when a Los Angeles judge denied her petition to be appointed legal guardian of the 13-year-old son, Atlas, she shares with Heche.
Earlier this month, The Blast observed that LA Superior County judge Lee Bogdanoff dismissed Tupper’s petition and mentioned that he would likely grant Homer’s offer to be the permanent executor of the “Wag the Dog” actor’s estate.
The decision appeared to upset the 57-year-old, who responded by shaking his head and putting his hands in his pockets as he stood in court, a gesture widely unappreciated by the judge who ordered him to stop shaking his head and remove his hands. from his pocket. An awkward Tupper tells Bogdanoff:
“I don’t think so [Atlas’] Brother will take care of his interests. He treated her like an enemy. Their relationship will be destroyed forever.”
The actor’s lawyer, Christopher Johnson, later protested about Homer blocking his stepbrother’s access to their late mother’s apartment to retrieve her property. The friendly judge responded by affirming that Atlas should be able to “get into the apartment and get his stuff as quickly as possible.”
The decision comes just days after the Canadian actress filed for a legal guardianship that would make her responsible for protecting her son’s interests in court, defying the decision to appoint Homer as administrator.
