That was my thought as well.Perhaps she moved down closer to the floorboard passenger side as the fire came at her. IDK. Sad.

As predicted, the lawsuits against her estate have begun: Anne Heche’s Family Facing Major Legal Fight Over Deadly Car Accident
It's unfortunate she didn't have an updated Will. Lots of people put off making Wills. I understand completely how that can happen. But with a minor child and with her previous emailed statement memorializing her wish Tupper control her money until both sons are 25... If the email is true and it was never revoked, ugh. After the custody battle, probably not what she would have wanted. Maybe she forgot about the email.Oh for pity's sake. Family scraps after deaths can be so ugly, I know all too well. Sending hopes for strength to her sons. Latest article I saw, sorry if a duplicate Anne Heche Family Fight Over Her Estate Heats Up
Not trying to victim shame, but shame on Anne for not having these arrangements.It's unfortunate she didn't have an updated Will. Lots of people put off making Wills.

You very well may be right about that. However, I have an umbrella and no will. I've been putting it off because it feels like if I make out a will, then I'll pass away once it's done. I know. It's stupid to think that and I need to get over that.Not trying to victim shame, but shame on Anne for not having these arrangements.
If she didn't have a will then I'm going to guess that she also did not have an umbrella policy. If she did not have one of these, there won't be a lot left for her children since she caused a lot of damage and her estate was estimated to be pretty small for a Hollywood actress.
All IMO.
Thanks Gemmie and GatorFL your posts are making me think now. No will, or " umbrella".You very well may be right about that. However, I have an umbrella and no will. I've been putting it off because it feels like if I make out a will, then I'll pass away once it's done. I know. It's stupid to think that and I need to get over that.![]()
And I don't even know what an umbrella policy is.You very well may be right about that. However, I have an umbrella and no will.

It's a supplemental insurance policy that kicks in after other forms of insurance are exhausted. Used in personal liability cases where you're sued for a lot of money, like Anne's estate undoubtedly is. She caused a lot of damage to that house, pretty much totaled it. Plus her personal rescue and hospitalization.And I don't even know what an umbrella policy is.
Thank you GatorFL. Good info to know.It's a supplemental insurance policy that kicks in after other forms of insurance are exhausted.

Auto insurance has policy limits, usually $50,000 or $100,000. It will pay limits and if she had an umbrella it would kick in.
Many people with a lot of assets invest in an umbrella policy to protect their wealth.
Omg. We think a lot alike. Though ….we do have a will, but only because my husband is Mr. Business. I personally am somewhat superstitious.You very well may be right about that.

Maybe you should turn the superstitious around. Most people die without a will, so..........Omg. We think a lot alike. Though ….we do have a will, but only because my husband is Mr. Business. I personally am somewhat superstitious.![]()
DH and I have had wills since our early 30s. DH comes from a family with several attorneys (including his late father) who encouraged us to have wills. We've updated them a couple of times as circumstances have changed.This is going to be a mess in the probate court. Not only having an ex, a child of majority and a minor child, multiple claims for damages, but also her book that will be coming out. Her rights on that book now belong to the estate. So that will have to be figured out. The court will need to appoint someone quickly to protect the estate even temporarily.
I do strongly encourage people to make wills. They can avoid a lot of problems. Especially if you have minor children and/or are remarried, etc. And please go to an attorney, don't get one off the internet. Most people only need a simple will, not extensive estate planning so it should not be expensive. Shop around. It is money well spent.
