Executor of O.J. Simpson's estate plans to fight payout to the families of Brown and Goldman
The executor of O.J. Simpson’s estate says he will work to prevent a payout of a $33.5 million judgment stemming from a wrongful death lawsuit filed years ago by the families of Simpson’s ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
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.”
Nasty nasty man.
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.
I'm confused, didn't OJ love his wife until her tragic murder by parties unknown? He swore to dedicate the rest of his life finding her killer. Surely he wants to share his estate with her family.
Unless of course he's a cold-blooded murderer and killed her...
Silly Artyom, truth & logic have no place in the twisted corrupt criminal justice system.
Wow, what a piece of shit.
He just isn't perfect. None of us are. I'll just leave that here as a reminder. https://youtu.be/UEXDz91Gf_U?si=A_r57yrvw5RFBcO1
I assume he gets paid from the estate. Win win for him.
Probably a flat amount not a percentage tho
Executiors can commonly charge a "reasonable" hourly rate against an estate for services rendered, like staging for selling a house, organizing an estate sale, doing paperwork, etc.
Whats reasonable or not is a bit hazy, but i'm betting the lawyer here got it written into the will to be worth his time.
This is what OJ would have wanted
I thought he died of cancer though
I think there was more than enough evidence for Simpson to serve time, but on the other hand when OJ Simpson published "IF I DID IT" in order to pay these families they really did him dirty by hiding the IF.
And where did all of that money from the publishing rights go to? Just a bunch of goons fighting over money at this point.
He did it and everyone knew it. He knew that everyone knew it too which is why he agreed to the "if" being hidden. The only people that were done dirty here was who he killed and the family and friends of who he killed.
