LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Malcolm LaVergne, the attorney managing O.J. Simpson’s estate, has filed a request seeking court approval to auction off Simpson’s distinctive personal belongings. LaVergne aims to bypass the usual court confirmation process to optimize the estate’s value for creditors and potential buyers.

Unique Value of Simpson’s Personal Property

In the filing submitted on Tuesday, LaVergne emphasized that Simpson’s celebrity status enhances the value of his personal items beyond typical probate administration scenarios. The estate lawyer noted that certain belongings, such as a Heisman Trophy and other memorabilia unique to Simpson, could attract substantial public interest and higher bids at auction than through traditional probate proceedings.

The filing elaborated that items like Simpson’s golf clubs, vehicle, and even his driver’s license are anticipated to draw significant interest from collectors and the public alike.

Future Hearing Scheduled

A hearing to discuss the proposed auction of O.J. Simpson’s estate is scheduled for July 26, providing interested parties an opportunity to weigh in on the estate’s handling and potential sale of these iconic personal items. The outcome of this hearing will determine whether LaVergne’s request receives judicial approval.
