Days after the death of O.J. Simpson, his will was revealed. According to information from various sources, his son Justin Simpson was named as his heir in legal documents, and his will executor was lawyer Malcolm LaVergne, who promised to do «everything possible» to ensure that the Goldman family received «zero» from Simpson’s inheritance. According to reports, Simpson allegedly owed millions of dollars to the Goldman family since 1997.
«My hope is that the Goldmans get zero, nothing», - LaVergne said, according to PEOPLE. «Them. And I will do everything in my power as executor or personal representative to try to ensure that they get nothing».
Additionally, it was reported that the Oriental Simpson Trust is to be «administered in accordance with this document without any court proceedings or disputes of any kind», - and added that if a beneficiary, heir, «or any other person» tries to «challenge the administration of this will, declare this will invalid, annul or modify any part of the provisions of this will», - they will «receive, free from the trust, one dollar ($ 1.00) and no more instead of any claimed interest in this will or its assets».
Last week, Ron Goldman’s father’s lawyer told the same publication that Simpson «died unrepentant. He didn’t want to give Fred a penny, a nickel ever, nothing, ever».
Furthermore, lawyer David Cook claimed that Simpson still «owes on the current status of the judgment» since 1997.
Simpson was accused of the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994. Although he was famously acquitted of the murders in 1995, he was found liable for the deaths of both Brown and Goldman in 1997. He was ordered to pay the Goldman and Brown families $ 33.5 million. According to Cook, the debt has grown with interest, totaling over $ 110 million today.
Cook also noted that the judgment was updated in 2022. Court documents for that year showed that Simpson allegedly paid the Goldmans $ 133,000 since 1997.
On April 10, Simpson passed away after battling prostate cancer. His children confirmed the news through X (formerly known as Twitter) the following day.
«On April 10, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer», - read the Simpson family’s message. «He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. At this time of transition, his family asks that you respect their wishes for privacy and dignity»
