oj simpson He has a lot of debt that he still needs to pay off after his death – so much so that the executor of his estate says he’s going to the extent of being reckless in order to raise some money as quickly as possible!
Malcolm LavergneJoe, OJ’s longtime attorney who is now handling his probate estate following his death in April, tells TMZ … they’re trying to get more than $269,000 from one of OJ’s homes, and they may have to go through Simpson’s son to do that. Justinto get it.
Malcolm says Justin – whose mother was Nicole Brown Simpson – helped his father buy his “forever” home in Las Vegas a few years ago, and now the estate wants to recoup the money O.J. put into the home, which is worth about $159 thousand according to LaVergne.
In addition, he says the house is now worth $100K more than it was when it was purchased in 2022. Therefore, Lavergne believes that both the equity and the amount OJ put into the house belong to OJ.
We tried to know Justin’s opinion about his father’s house, but did not get any response from him.
Of course, $269 thousand is a mere drop in the bucket when it comes to the estate’s creditors… OJ was required to pay $33.5 million to the families of his victims following a wrongful death lawsuit in 1997.
OJ was acquitted of murder at trial, but was later found responsible for the deaths of Nicole and his wife. Ron Goldman in Santa Monica Civil Court … and although the judgment was originally for $33.5 million, the interest on the unpaid debt has reportedly increased grew to nearly $100 million,
Besides all of this, the estate of O.J. recently Hit with a $500K tax lien From the state of California.
LaVergne says O.J.’s estate is nearly worthless at this point, so he’s doing everything he can to find any and all sources of revenue to finance the estate and help pay off creditors like the I.R.S., the California Tax Board, and Goldman.
Here’s the thing … LaVergne says he’s frustrated that his efforts to gather and sell O.J.’s assets are being met with strong resistance — but he plans to take a tough stance on everyone, including O.J.’s family.
One of the jewels in Simpson’s crown that he’s been trying to get back is his Pro Football Hall of Fame ring, which he says has been missing since Simpson’s death … along with one of his fancy Rolexes.
He’s clearly upset that it’s MIA, telling us, “It belongs to the estate and I want it at my feet.”
Besides the house and the ring, Malcolm also wants this Permission to sell many of O.J.’s items An auction will be held to raise funds for the property.
