LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A probate judge approved a plan Friday to auction off pieces of O.J. Simpson’s personal property, a lawyer involved in the process confirmed to the 8 News Now Investigators.

Simpson died in Las Vegas on April 10 at the age of 76. His long-time attorney, Malcolm LaVergne, was tasked to handle his trust and estate. An attorney representing LaVergne in Friday’s hearing said the auction process would begin “soon.” … Items potentially to be auctioned include a Heisman Trophy, golf clubs, Simpson’s car and driver’s license, LaVergne previously said, adding it was unclear if the trophy was authentic.

Friday’s ruling allows the estate to sell Simpson’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,” documents said.

Fred Goldman, the father of Ron Goldman, filed a creditor’s claim Thursday against the estate of O.J. Simpson for $117 million.
