Court battle brewing over Anne Heche estate between her oldest son and her ex-boyfriend
with her oldest son and one of her ex-boyfriends vying for control in a probate hearing.
A judge determined Tuesday that Heche's 20-year-old son Homer Laffoon will remain administrator of the late actress's estate despite a petition by James Tupper, Heche's ex-boyfriend and father of her 13-year-old son Atlas. Tupper wanted the judge to declare him guardian ad litum for Atlas, which would give him certain powers to represent the boy. The judge, however, declined that request, saying Laffoon is qualified to act as sole administrator and that "in the state of California, a person can be illiterate and still be considered qualified."
"He would have to prove that there is some form of fraud, neglect, waste, mismanagement, embezzlement or he is incapacitated to take the position of the administrator," explained family law attorney Atousa Saei. Heche died in a fiery car wreck in August of this year and apparently didn't leave any written will or trust concerning her estate.
