Overview
- The executor filed papers in Clark County, Nevada, formally accepting Fred Goldman’s claim tied to the 1997 wrongful-death judgment.
- Acceptance ends any immediate fight over the claim but does not constitute payment or establish how much, if anything, will be distributed.
- Court filings show the estate holds only a few hundred thousand dollars, including about $268,000 from recent memorabilia auctions, making full recovery unlikely.
- Nevada probate rules require administrative, medical, and funeral costs to be paid before unsecured creditors such as the Goldman claim.
- The estate accepted nearly $58 million reflecting principal plus decades of interest and did not approve the $117 million figure; a probate hearing is scheduled for January 2026.
