The son of Anne Heche has recently uncovered nearly $100,000 in additional assets belonging to the late actress — more than two years after her tragic death.
Homer Laffoon, 22, whom Heche shared with her ex-husband Coleman Laffoon, became the administrator of Heche’s estate after she died in a horror car crash in August 2022 at age 53.
Since then, the estate has been hit with $6 million in creditor claims — including a $2 million request made by the owners of the LA home that Heche crashed her car into.
In April 2024, Homer told the court that the estate was unable to cover the millions in debt due to the ‘modest’ assets that Heche left behind. At the time, he revealed that the portions of Heche’s estate that had been appraised were worth around $110,000.
On Tuesday, Homer submitted a new legal filing that included an updated list of Heche’s assets, according to InTouch, that are worth ‘an estimated $92,500.’
Homer listed each asset and its reported worth — the highest being ‘100 percent ownership in Celestia Films worth $50,000.’

Other assets included: ’50 percent ownership in Anne & Heather Ink LLC and $25,000 in household furniture located in a condo’ in Downtown Los Angeles.
Anne & Heather Ink LLC is believed to be associated with Heche’s Better Together with Anne & Heather podcast, which she co-hosted with her friend Heather Duffy from 2020 until her untimely 2022 death, but the LLC’s worth was not noted.
Homer also listed various royalties and residual income totaling $16,500 that the estate has earned.
According to the filing obtained by InTouch, the estate ‘earned $10,000 in residual income, $1,500 in royalties from Anne’s 2001 memoir, “Call Me Crazy” and $5,000 in royalties from Anne’s 2023 follow up book, “Call Me Anne.”‘
Homer’s filing comes nearly one year after he claimed that his mother’s estate is ‘not yet in a condition to be closed,’ as per documents obtained by People in April 2024, and that it cannot afford to pay the $6 million in outstanding debt.
Homer claimed that his mother’s estate consists of a ‘modest bank account, royalty payments and other residual income from pre-death projects…’
In the docs, Homer said that Heche also had a ‘corporation’ in which she was ‘the sole shareholder’ that she used for developing ‘projects’ related to her acting career, and an ‘LLC membership interest’ for a podcast that she ‘helped create,’ along with some ‘tangible personal property items’ of some value.
The report indicated that only some of the assets have so far been valued and were worth around $110,000. It was not made clear what remained to be valued or how much the estate would be worth all together.
However, Homer indicated that Heche’s estate would not be able to cover the approximately $6 million that has been requested by interested parties since her death.
The biggest single chunk of requested funds appears to come from three people intimately affected by the Birth star’s fiery car crash who are requesting millions.

The couple who owns the LA home have filed for $2 million to cover their losses and repairs, while the woman who was renting it at the time — who lost her belongings in the crash and ensuing fire — is also requesting $2 million.
Heche’s former partner Thomas Jane, who began dating her in 2019 but had separated from her before the crash, has also requested payment of $149,106.04.
He filed a claim in 2022 — six months after Heche’s death — over the unpaid balance of a $157,000 loan he paid to Heche, along with the accrued interest.
Jane — who costarred with Heche in the HBO comedy Hung — said in his claim that his ex had paid two installments of $10,000 each, but had failed to pay any subsequent installments.
His current request may be even higher than the initial amount he requested, as Jane has said he is also owed $18.77 in additional interest per day.
According Homer, the ‘anticipated value of the combined Inventories and Appraisals’ won’t be enough to cover the approximately $6 million that have been requested from the estate.
Heche’s posthumous memoir, Call Me Anne, won’t be able to make much of a dent in her estate’s debts, as her son said at the time that its sales were ‘not strong,’ which allegedly amounted to less than $25,000 in income for the late Psycho remake star.
Without enough funds to cover the costs from Heche’s creditors, Homer said that he has been ‘actively engaged in attempts to negotiate appropriate settlements of the claims against the Estate.’
According to him, his efforts involved ‘substantial meet and confer efforts with the creditors in an attempt to avoid protracted and expensive litigation.’
Last year, he said that he was ‘cautiously optimistic that the creditor claims can all be resolved fairly and without litigation.’
The list included ’50 percent ownership in Anne & Heather Ink LLC,’ which is believed to be associated with Heche’s Better Together podcast, which she co-hosted with her friend Heather Duffy
According to the filing obtained by InTouch, the estate ‘earned $10,000 in residual income, $1,500 in royalties from Anne’s 2001 memoir, “Call Me Crazy” and $5,000 in royalties from Anne’s 2023 follow up book, “Call Me Anne”‘
In Heche’s deadly crash, she drove her Mini Cooper into the west Los Angeles home just prior to 11 a.m. on August 5, 2022, triggering a fire she wasn’t freed from for around 45 minutes, according to Los Angeles City Fire Department records reviewed by KNBC.
In the direct aftermath of the crash, Heche was initially transported to the Ronald Regan UCLA Medical Center emergency room, and subsequently taken to Grossman Burn Center at West Hills Hospital and Medical Center.
Heche was being probed for felony DUI in the incident, but authorities scuttled any legal maneuvers in that vein following her passing.
The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner–Coroner determined Heche’s cause of death was a result of injuries from the auto accident, E! News reported, citing official records.
Heche suffered inhalation and thermal injuries, a fractured sternum, a lacerated kidney and severe burns to more than 10 percent of her body, coroners said.
Heche is survived by son Homer, 22, from her former marriage to Coley Laffoon, 48, and son Atlas, 15, with former partner James Tupper, 58.
