The vicious legal battle over Anne Heche‘s estate continues — but what exactly is everyone fighting over? As you know, Heche’s eldest son Homer Laffoon and her ex-boyfriend James Tupper are in a nasty legal dispute which has been growing since the actress tragically passed away in August.
The 20-year-old filed a petition to gain control of his mom’s estate, as well as become the guardian ad litem over his little brother, Atlas Heche Tupper — James’ son.
The actor, however, snapped back with the claim Anne once named him the executor of her estate in a decade-old email sent in January 2011.
