The woman whose rented house went up in flames after Anne Heche's deadly crash is going after the actress' son in court.

Lynne Mishele has filed an objection to the first accounting of the estate from Homer Heche Laffoon, according to court documents. It comes four years after she put in a $2 million claim as a creditor of the estate.

Stalled talks

Mishele's lawyers say the two sides reached an agreement in principle. They claim Homer has dragged out the probate case anyway.

Earlier, Mishele pushed back when Homer said the case had been settled. She agreed there was a deal in principle. She said it could not be finished because he had not handed over certain paperwork.

Numbers that do not match

The filing says Homer's accounting is riddled with mistakes. One part puts the estate's available assets at about $350,000. Yet a separate schedule shows $514,741.09 in assets overall with $141,658.79 of that in cash.

Ten rings and other questions

Mishele's team also wants to know what happened to Heche's 10 engagement rings. James Tupper gave them to her during the 10 years they were together.

The lawyers are also asking whether the actress had any pension or benefits from SAG-AFTRA. They flag $11,300 in storage costs and an $8,725 IOU that Tupper allegedly still owes the estate. They also claim Homer's own bank account was mixed in with estate money.

Mishele wants the judge to throw out the accounting. She is also asking the court to make Homer turn over the relevant bank records.

The crash

Mishele says she lost her belongings in the crash and the fire that followed. She also claims she suffered emotional distress.

Heche had cocaine in her system when she crashed. She died from smoke inhalation and burns.

A court hearing on the dispute is set for Dec. 1.
