In a new legal update, O.J. Simpson‘s estate has recently filed a lawsuit against his youngest son, Justin Simpson, claiming that he moved into his late father’s home without permission in Kendall, Florida. The suit alleges Justin disregarded his father’s wishes and refuses to leave the property or reimburse the estate for the payments they already made on the property.
According to TMZ, Malcolm LaVergne, the estate’s attorney, is taking legal action against Primary Holdings, LLC, a company owned by Justin. The lawsuit claims that the company reportedly purchased the Kendall property shortly after O.J.’s death to prevent creditors from collecting it. However, Justin allegedly moved into the home instead, despite owning property nearby.
Additionally, legal documents show O.J. made payments on the house prior to his passing with the intention of it remaining a part of his estate. But, the estate creditors, who are still seeking a $33.5 million judgment that’s connected to O.J.’s 1997 financial liability stemming from the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, have seen the amount increase to $100 million due to interest. As a result, the estate says Justin’s actions are hindering them from settling the debt.
Nonetheless, O.J. was acquitted in the criminal trial for the 1994 murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman. However, in 1997, a civil trial found the former NFL player responsible for their deaths. Shortly after the ruling, O.J. relocated to Florida, where the laws protect pensions and personal residences from being seized.
