James Tupper recently stated that Anne Heche gave him the authority over her estate instead of allowing her oldest son, Homer Laffoon, to take over.

The legal documents acquired by Page Six say that Heche emailed Tupper and two other people a copy of her will in January 2011. According to Tupper, Heche nominated him as the executor of her will so that he could fulfill her financial wishes. Heche mentioned in the will:

“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.”

Tupper also stated that Laffoon could not run his mother’s estate since he is just 20 and unemployed and was estranged from Heche at the time of her demise. The lawsuit states that Laffoon changed the locks of his mother’s apartment, where she used to reside with Atlas, and his younger brother failed to access the things that were inside.

James further stated that Atlas and Laffoon have not been in touch with each other since the day Heche passed away. Meanwhile, Laffoon and Tupper’s representatives have not yet commented on anything.
