O.J. Simpson’s will has recently been revealed, just days after his passing. The legal documents state that his son, Justin Simpson, has been named as his successor, while lawyer Malcolm LaVergne has been appointed as the executor of the estate. LaVergne has made a strong statement, promising to take all necessary measures to ensure that the Goldman family receives nothing from the Simpson estate. It is said that Simpson has owed the Goldman family millions of dollars since 1997.
LaVergne expressed his strong desire for the Goldmans to receive no compensation. He stated, “It’s my hope that the Goldmans get zero, nothing. Them specifically. And I will do everything in my capacity as the executor or personal representative to try and ensure that they get nothing.”
In addition, the Orenthal Simpson Revocable Living Trust states that it is being managed without any disputes or legal conflicts. It further states that if any beneficiary, heir, or other individual attempts to challenge or invalidate the administration of the will, or modify any of its provisions, they will only receive one dollar ($1.00) instead of their claimed interest in the will or its assets.
According to a recent statement from Ron’s father, Fred Goldman, Simpson passed away without ever showing remorse or offering any financial restitution. Goldman’s attorney expressed that Simpson had no intention of giving even a small amount of money to Fred as a form of recompense.
Attorney David Cook further alleges that Simpson still has outstanding payments on the judgment from 1997.
Simpson faced charges for the brutal murders of his former wife, Nicole Brown, and her friend Ron Goldman back in 1994. While he managed to secure an infamous acquittal in 1995, he was held responsible for the deaths of both Brown and Goldman in 1997. Consequently, he was obligated to compensate the Goldman and Brown families with a staggering $33.5 million. Cook reveals that over the years, with accumulated interest, this debt has now skyrocketed to over $110 million.
Cook also confirmed that the judgment had been renewed in 2022. According to court documents from that year, it was revealed that Simpson had paid the Goldmans a total of $133,000 since 1997.
Simpson passed away on April 10 after bravely fighting prostate cancer. The news of his death was shared by his children on X (formerly known as Twitter) the next day.
The Simpson family announced the passing of their father, Orenthal James Simpson, on April 10th. In a heartfelt post, they shared that he had lost his battle with cancer. O.J. Simpson was surrounded by his children and grandchildren during his final moments. The family has requested privacy and grace during this difficult time.
