Shannen Doherty ’s estate has settled its legal dispute with her ex-husband, the photographer Kurt Iswarienko, who agreed to give the estate half the equity in the couple’s $1.5 million home in Dripping Springs, Texas. The agreement, outlined in court documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on 24 March 2026, came 20 months after the Beverly Hills, 90210 star died of cancer at 53 in July 2024. The deal covers a Mooney aeroplane, photographs of the actress and furniture, and ends a court battle that began in November 2025 when the estate said he had broken their divorce settlement. The court documents also require him to return Doherty’s coffee table and couch from the home and to wire $25,000 to the estate for her interest in a Mooney M-20 aeroplane.
The inventory he must produce covers his photographs that depict Doherty.

They also said he was 14 months late with copies of photographs of Doherty that were due by 1 September 2024. He was meant to buy out her share of the aeroplane for $100,000 within five business days of selling it, but allegedly withheld $50,274 after the sale in August 2024.
The estate’s lawyers and Cortazzo said in a November filing that he had refused to list the home. Under its terms, he was to sell the Texas home and divide the net proceeds equally with her estate.
