Thomas Jane, Anne Heche’s former husband, has submitted a claim against the estate of the late actress in an effort to recoup more than $150,000 in loans they had taken out together.
PEOPLE has acquired a copy of a new court document in which attorneys for Jane, who was romantically linked to Heche for the first time in 2019, claim that their client borrowed the actress $157,000 and is still owing $149,106.04. In addition to this, he is asking for $18.77 a day in compound interest.
It was alleged by Jane that Heche, who passed away on August 5 after being engaged in a car accident in Los Angeles, had previously promised to repay the debt in monthly installments of $10,000 commencing in August 2021. Heche was killed in a car accident. According to the allegation, however, he asserted that after the initial two payments, she did not “make any more payments” to him.
According to the document submitted to the court, Jane, 53, asserted that he is currently due a total of $137,000, which includes $9,814.79 in interest (as of November 8) and $2,291.85 in late fees.
Jane said that Heche was obligated to keep him informed of impending professional employment and that he would receive payment of thirty percent of Heche’s income when she earned payment of more than fifteen thousand dollars in accordance with the terms of their agreement.
The attorneys for Heche and Jane did not immediately respond to a request for comment from PEOPLE.
After hearing the news of Heche’s passing, Jane released a statement to The Daily Mail in which he expressed his “thoughts and prayers” and hailed Heche as “one of the true talents of her generation.”
The claim that Jane has submitted against Heche’s estate is the most recent one. A woman who lost her home in the accident that killed the actress filed a claim for damages against the actress’s heirs last week.
PEOPLE has obtained documents indicating that on November 9th, lawyers for Lynne Mishele filed documents in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County, requesting “at least $2 million” in damages for “negligence,” “infliction of emotional distress,” and “trespass.” The documents state that Mishele is seeking compensation for “negligence,” “infliction of emotional distress,” and “trespass.”
According to the filing, Michele, who was renting the house from John and Jennifer Durand at the time of the accident, states that she “was working from home when she was stunned by the dramatic force of Heche’s vehicle slamming through the front wall and driving through the living room, kitchen, home office, and primary room closet before settling into the laundry/storage room of her house.” John and Jennifer Durand owned the house at the time of the collision.
In addition, the court filings state that “the front end of the car, incredible as it may seem, came to a stop mere feet from Plaintiff and her pets: two dogs named Bree and Rueben and a tortoise named Marley.”
“By God’s grace, Plaintiff and her three pets barely escaped physical impact from the car crash,” the documents add. They continue on to describe Mishele as “terrified, severely traumatized, and without a place to live” as a result of the crash.
An earlier article by PEOPLE stated that the Los Angeles Fire Department stated that the event caused “structural compromise” and “major fire” to the one-story residence as a result of the damage it caused.
When Heche ran into the single-story house, she was operating a Mini Cooper at the time of the collision. Heche was taken to the hospital and required intubation after her apartment caught fire. She did not regain consciousness at any point. Since then, it has been determined that her passing was due to an accident.
