Homer filed for control over his mother’s estate after her death and the request did not sit well with Atlas’s father, Tupper. He claimed that Homer “has acted in a hostile manner” towards Atlas and “has refused to communicate with him or his representatives at all." Instagram The court eventually granted Homer the special powers to "take possession of all the personal property of the estate of the decedent and preserve it from damage, waste, and injury." On November 30, 2022, Homer was named the general administrator of his mother’s estate and he has also been assigned to take charge of her forthcoming book. His attorney, Bryan Phipps stated to People after the hearing, "We believe the court reached the correct result this morning, both legally and equitably, and are glad to have this phase of the process behind us. With Mr. Tupper's allegations and objections now resolved, we are hopeful the administration of the Estate can proceed without unnecessary complication." Atlas Heche Tupper Instagram Heche shares Atlas with her ex-boyfriend of almost a decade, James Tupper whom she met in 2007 and broke up with in 2018. Atlas, who was born on March 7, 2009, has one of the most bright personalities Heche had ever met. She gushed to People about her son, “He's just so easy I can't believe it. He cracks a smile every time he opens his eyes and he's a real bundle of joy." Like his brother, Atlas was always shown off by his mum on her Instagram pages whether on family getaways, Halloween, or his birthdays.
