Shannen Doherty’s ex-husband Kurt Iswarienko has finally reached an agreement with her estate over their divorce, after the actress signed the settlement one day before she died in July 2024.
Shannen Doherty’s ex-husband Kurt Iswarienko has reached an agreement with her estate over their divorce.
The late actress filed for divorce from Kurt in 2023 after 11 years of marriage and signed the settlement one day before she died in July 2024 but her estate has been battling him ever since, claiming he has not abided by the terms of the legal agreement.
However, according to court documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court and obtained by PEOPLE, Iswarienko, 51, has agreed to pay her estate “one-half the equity” of their shared Dripping Springs, Texas property.
He has agreed to return Doherty’s coffee table and couch and must also “produce an inventory of his photographic works” that show the late actress.
He has additionally agreed to pay $25,000 to the estate for Doherty’s share in a Mooney M-20 airplane .

Shannen’s legal team and Christopher Cortazzo, trustee of the Shannen Doherty Family Trust, previously alleged that her ex-husband failed to comply with several “monetary obligations” from the divorce settlement.
However, according to Us Weekly, Iswarienko’s lawyer fired back, alleging that the signed divorce agreement was brought to the wrong court and went on to challenge the jurisdiction of the case.
He argued that the divorce deal should not have been filed after Doherty’s death and that the court has no jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the agreement.
According to the terms of the deal, obtained by PEOPLE, Iswarienko was required to sell her $1.5 million Texas home and “equally divide the net proceeds with [her] estate” but, it was alleged he “refused to list” the home, where he appears to be currently living.
He allegedly also “refused to return [Doherty’s] items of personal property”.
Additionally, Iswarienko had reportedly failed to “produce his inventory” of photographs of Doherty.
Shannen – who was 53 when she died – filed for divorce from Kurt in 2023, while battling stage four breast cancer, and insisted she has “no other option”.
Her publicist, Leslie Sloane told Page Six: “Divorce is the last thing Shannen wanted. Unfortunately, she felt she was left with no other option.”
The former Beverly Hills, 90210 star was previously wed to actor Ashley Hamilton from 1993 to 1994 and poker player Rick Salomon from 2002 to 2003.
