The woman whose Mar Vista rental home was destroyed when Anne Heche drove into it with her car in 2022 says in new court papers that a settlement of her creditor’s claim against the actress’ estate cannot be obtained without the estate offering the petitioner an accounting.
Lynne Mishele filed her court papers in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday. She was the tenant and business owner who escaped unharmed with her pets from the Walgrove Avenue home, but was displaced and lost most of her belongings in the massive fire that followed the Aug. 5, 2022 crash.
Heche’s oldest son, Homer Heche Laffoon, 24, was served with the request for an accounting on Tuesday, according to Mishele’s petition. Laffoon has said a complete accounting would be forthcoming, but has not provided the information even though his mother died nearly four years ago, according to the petition.
An accounting of an estate is a formal, comprehensive financial report prepared by an executor or administrator. It details all assets, income, expenses, debts paid and distributions made during the estate’s administration.
Laffoon is the son of Heche’s ex-husband, 52-year-old producer and real estate broker Coleman Laffoon. Heche died six days after the crash on Aug. 11, 2022, at age 53.
