O.J. Simpson Estate Hit With $500k Tax Lien, Says Executor

O.J. Simpson avoided paying Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman‘s households millions when he was alive — and now, from beyond the grave, he may well be dodging them once again … TMZ has discovered.

Whilst Malcolm LaVergne — O.J.’s longtime lawyer and now executor of his estate — produced it clear he intended to speak cash with Nicole and Ron’s respective loved ones … Malcom says an unforeseen tax debt is making a new hurdle.

Malcolm tells TMZ … the state of California has a enormous tax lien against Simpson’s estate for $572,402.69 — which he says could derail his program to settle portion of the $33.five million judgment O.J. owed his victims’ households just after the 1997 wrongful death lawsuit.

Don’t forget, even though O.J. was acquitted in his murder trial, he was later located liable for Nicole and Ron’s deaths in a Santa Monica civil court.

While the judgment was $33.five million, interest on the unpaid debt has ballooned to a reported $one hundred million.

Malcolm says his lawyer met with the Goldman household — as properly as an assignee for Ron’s mom Sharon Rufo, who auctioned off her rights to the judgment — earlier this month at his Las Vegas workplace. He says a rep for Nicole’s estate did not show up, in spite of getting invited.

We’re told they reviewed Simpson’s tax returns, 401K, bank statements and much more — and the Goldman lawyer and Sharon’s rep had been told they’d be accepted into the estate … with the intention getting to satisfy their judgments.

The timeline for undertaking so remains unclear, even though. Malcolm says he’s nevertheless investigating how a great deal the estate is worth, specially amid the tax lien.

He says he was “broadsided” by the $500K debt, and may well need to have to go to court to deal with it ahead of “it wipes out any concept I had in my head to spend Goldman anything” — which he says “would be good.”

Proper now, the method is to fight the lien … which suggests a court will have to determine ahead of any sum can be handed more than to Ron’s household members.

Malcolm is optimistic, nevertheless … believing there are some hidden gems in the estate that could assist cover some of the charges. He says O.J.’s Heisman trophy (even though it may well be a replica), paintings, golf clubs, black SUV, grand piano and much more could potentially be liquidated and bring in a pretty quite penny.

Fans of O.J. may well be interested in obtaining their hands on some of his much more private products — such as video reels, furnishings and old photographs of O.J. with Nicole, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Muhammad Ali, and so forth.
