Simpson’s will was filed Friday in a Clark County court in Nevada, naming his longtime lawyer, Malcolm LaVergne, as the executor. The document shows Simpson’s property was placed into a trust that was created this year.
LaVergne told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that the entirety of Simpson’s estate has not been tallied. Under Nevada law, an estate must go through the courts if its assets exceed $20,000.
Simpson died Wednesday without having paid the lion’s share of the civil judgment that was awarded in 1997 after jurors found him liable. With his assets set to go through the court probate process, the Goldman and Brown families could be in line to get paid a piece of whatever Simpson left behind.
LaVergne, who had represented Simpson since 2009, said he specifically didn’t want the Goldman family seeing any money from Simpson’s estate.
“It’s my hope that the Goldmans get zero, nothing,” he told the Review-Journal. “Them specifically. And I will do everything in my capacity as the executor or personal representative to try and ensure that they get nothing.”
So he should not execute the will as OJ intended? Thats not how it works
Edit. I thought you meant the executor, not the murderer OJ.
I might have massively misread your nasty nasty man comment. My sincere apologies if thats the case
No, he shouldn’t. OJ had a financial obligation to the Goldmans for years that he shirked. He shouldn’t get to keep doing so after he’s fucking dead. OJ gets to control the disposition of what’s left of his estate after his legal obligations are fulfilled.
And that’s not even getting into the fact that HE MURDERED THEIR SON.
Well the son is dead, nothing can be done after the jury mistakenly acquitted Simpson. But did OJ really shirk obligations? AFAIK the whole reason he even wrote “IF I DID IT” was to try to pay them what was owed, and they accepted that deal.
The man’s whole estate appears to be worth about 3 Million USD, and he’s survived by four children. Maybe it’s time we put the dead to rest.
No, they sued for profits from the book.
I looked it up and you appear to be correct, at the very least the rights of the publication were given to the families on Court Orders.
What is this alternate timeline where OJ isn’t such a bad guy after all? He wrote the book because he needed cash, and was sued for the money since he still had not paid all he owed.
It’s a little hard to “put the dead to rest” when the dead person is your child and their killer is still walking the streets for the rest of his life.
He was a shit person, but I’m not seeing a better future from trying to squeeze 97 Million USD out of a 3 Million USD estate. He already served 33 years prison for a separate crime and he has 4 children who are wholly not responsible at all but may end up paying for their father’s crimes.
