According to a petition filed by comedianLouis Anderson’s sister, Lisa Anderson, she is asking the court to disallow her brother’s agent and manager from getting their hands on assets from his estate, claiming he suffered “elder abuse” at their hands. TheBasketsstar diedon August 02, 2025, ofcomplications of cancer. He was 68. She requested in the documents that the judge bar a late amendment in Louie’s will that added certain friends and family members to the list of people who would get a share of Louie’s cash.
In the documents,Lisa Anderson namesAhmos Hassan (agent) and Abraham Geiness (manager) as the respondents in the case and claims Abraham was also once her brother’s “lover.” In 2013, the Emmy winner was diagnosed with lymphoma and prostate cancer in 2020, and she highlighted his obesity as to what led to him suffering a heart attack and going through bypass surgery in his final years. She alleges her brother told her he believed that Ahmos was “stealing from him.”
A few months later, Anderson’s health worsened to the point he could not walk or take care of himself. Lisa added that many of his family members volunteered to live with him to him get through the days and in January 2022, it was obvious the comedian might not make it. She said she got an odd call from a friend claiming Louie said,
“I don’t want Lisa to come out here, and I’ll call her when I want her to come out.”
Allegations Abound in Lawsuit Against Late Comedian’s Agent and Manager
Four days before he passed away, Anderson carried out a “first amendment” to his trust, something that Lisa alleges he was “forced” to do on his “deathbed.” The documents state the will change “reduced the gifts” his two sisters received and describe what Lisa claims she saw, describing a group of people, including Abraham and Ahmos, going into his sick room and heard voices yelling and shouting at Louie, telling him to sign some documents," along with “this is it! You must sign NOW!”
The documents added:
“Louie spoke with long hesitations between his words, and it appeared like he was being coached to say the words he was uttering. This was strange because earlier, Louie had wanted Lisa to come out and lie next to him on a new bed he wanted to purchase. Throughout his life, Louie and (I) had a special, loving bond and called each other every day, sometimes twice a day."
Lisa Anderson is requesting the court invalidate the change and make the two men “liable for financial elder abuse” after she and her sister were removed as “sole beneficiaries” and giving Ahmos and Abraham 30 percent of his estate.
