LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – The lawyer handling O.J. Simpson’s estate is looking to put his personal items up for auction.
According to the filing made Tuesday, Malcolm LaVergne, the lawyer handling the estate, “seeks court authorization to sell the Decedent’s unique and high-profile personal property through auction houses, waiving the usual requirement for court confirmation to maximize the Estate’s value for creditors and interested parties.”
“Given the unique circumstances of this Estate, Mr. LaVergne believes that certain items of personal property may be more valuable than in a typical probate administration,” the filing said.
The filing said many of Simpson’s personal items would have more value at auction, given his celebrity, than in probate court.
“Additionally, the Decedent was in possession of certain items of personal property that were unique to him and may draw significant interest from the public for purchase. For example, the Decedent was in possession of a Heisman Trophy at the time of his passing (whether the trophy is authentic, or a replica, remains unclear),” the filing reads. “Other personal property items that may draw interest from the public include golf clubs, Mr. Simpson’s vehicle and even his drivers license.”
A hearing regarding the possible auctioning of his property is set for July 26.
