The battle over Anne Heche’s estate is far from over.<\/p>\n

Heche’s oldest son, Homer Laffoon, filed new court documents this week opposing the validity of a 2011 email his motherly sent ex-boyfriend James Tupper appointing him executor of her estate.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old insists that the email \u201cfails to satisfy the legal requirements for a valid formal will witness\u201d because it \u201cwas not signed by [Heche] and does not have two witnesses who signed the document during [her] lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Tupper repeatedly refers to the email \u2026 as a ‘will.’ However \u2014 as a matter of law \u2014 the email does not qualify as either a holographic will or formal witnessed will,\u201d he wrote in his filing, which was obtained by Page Six.<\/p>\n

Therefore, Laffoon claims he is \u201cthe person with the highest priority of appointment\u201d and is \u201clegally entitled to appointment as administrator.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, he alleges that it \u201cwas not uncommon\u201d for his mother \u201cto send emails such as the one attached \u2026 when she was faced with uncertainty. in fact, [Heche] sent a similar email to her bookkeeper on April 7, 2020, after [she] contracted COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis document, which fails to qualify as a will on the same basis as the email \u2026 makes no reference whatsoever to Mr. Tupper, which is not surprising given their acrimonious breakup in 2018,\u201d Laffoon argues.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Following Heche’s death on Aug. 12, Laffoon filed a petition to be named executor of her estate and requested that he and his half-brother, Atlas Tupper, be listed as their mother’s sole heirs.<\/p>\n

However, Tupper \u2014 who fathered 13-year-old Atlas with Heche \u2014 filed his own documents in which he claimed that the late star sent him an email in January 2011 that read, \u201cFYI in case I die tomorrow and anyone asks. My wishes are that all of my assets go to the control of Mr. James Tupper to be used to raise my children and then given to the children.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In his filing, Tupper, 57, further argued that Laffoon \u201cis not suitable\u201d to run Heche’s estate, pointing out his young age, lack of employment and estranged relationship with his mother when she died.<\/p>\n

The actor also alleged that Laffoon changed the locks on Heche’s apartment, which she shared with Atlas, and has prevented the teen from gaining access to his belongings inside.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tupper also claimed that the half-brothers have not had any contact since Heche’s death on Aug. 12.<\/p>\n

In his new filing, Laff’s attacks refer to Tupper’s attacks as \u201cunfounded personal claims\u201d and \u201cfrivolous legal claims.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heche \u2014 who shared Laffoon with ex-husband Coleman Laffoon \u2014 died at age 53 after an Aug. 5 car crash that left her in a coma with severe burns and critical injuries. She was later removed from life support, and her organs were equipped.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles County medical examiner-coronar listed sternal fracture due to blunt trauma as a factor contributing to each death, which was ruled accidental.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
