Less than two years after Anne Heche died following a terrifying car accident in Los Angeles, the actress’s son reveals that her estate is struggling to pay off a $6 million debt.
According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Heche’s son, Homer Laffoon, said the state is “not in a position to close yet” because it cannot pay outstanding charges.
Laffoon, who was named owner of Anne Heche’s estate, shared that the estate consists of a “modest band account, royalty payments and other residual income from projects prior to her death.”
The estate also consists of LLC membership interests related to a podcast Heche helped create and a corporation in which Anne Heche was the sole shareholder. The documents report that the corporation was used for development projects and business functions related to Heche’s career.
Laffoon’s report indicates that some assets have amounted to $110,000. Others are currently under evaluation. A total of seven creditors have filed claims against the estate. Three of those creditors are seeking $2 million.
These were filed by the couple who owned the home Heche crashed into during her car accident. The woman, who rented the house, also filed a complaint for the loss of all her belongings.
Thomas Jane, who had dated Anne Heche but had ended the relationship before her death, is also among the creditors. He is asking for $149,106.04 from the deceased actress’s estate.
The report further notes that creditor claims total more than $6 million and that with the “anticipated value of inventories and appraisals combined,” Laffoon says the estate will not be able to pay its debts.

Anne Heche was involved in three car collisions the day she crashed into a home in the Los Angeles area
According to multiple reports, Anne Heche was involved in a sequence of three Heche engine collisions while driving through the Mar Vista neighborhood in Los Angeles. All three accidents occurred within a 30-minute span.
The actress was caught on video driving her Mini Clubman after crashing into an apartment garage. The collision caused minor damage. She then ran over a Jaguar without stopping, and another video shows her almost hitting a pedestrian as well.
During the final collision, Anne Heche lost control of her vehicle and crashed through a home in the 1700 block of South Walgrove Ave.
It took almost 60 firefighters to rescue Heche from the wreck, which started a fire. It took more than an hour for the fire to be completely extinguished. Firefighters were unable to remove Heche from the vehicle for 45 minutes. She had suffered severe burns and injuries from smoke inhalation.
After being rushed to a nearby hospital, Anne Heche lost consciousness. She was reportedly in a coma while in critical condition.
Days later, Heche’s representative stated that she was not expected to survive after suffering an anoxic brain injury. She was taken off life support and was declared legally dead on August 11. She was 53 years old at the time.
Along with Laffoon, Heche was the mother of her son Atlas, whom she shared with her ex-husband James Tupper.
