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.”
Scumbag.
For doing his job as required by law?
Put the blame on the asshole who died
The law requires debts be paid. Simpson has debts owed to the victims families. It’s the legal responsibility of the executor to pay those debts, not to squander it away on lawsuits like this.
How old are those debts? Why arent they already paid? Im assuming theres a reason the court disnt put him back in jail for not paying it? If they were contesting this for years then why would that not resolve?
Look im not saying i want this. Im saying its gross and shitty but that YOU and I have the right be that way in our wills and this isnt the executors fault.
Too many people think the executor has more decision power than we like at times.
