Actress Lotlot has officially broken her silence regarding the management of her late mother Nora’s estate, issuing a firm legal statement to distance herself from recent claims made by her brother, Ian de Leon.

Through her legal counsel, Mark Julius Estur, the actress clarified that she has no interest in seeking any financial gain or inheritance from the legacy left behind by the legendary National Artist.

The controversy began following a televised interview where Ian claimed to be the sole heir and announced the establishment of new corporate entities and foundations in honor of their mother.

However, Lotlot’s legal team was quick to dispel these assertions, stating that the actress was never consulted or involved in the founding of these organizations.

The statement further noted that any attribution of these efforts to her is a false representation of the truth.

According to the official release, Lotlot has made a conscious and respectful decision to step away completely from the administration of the estate.

This move comes after Ian reportedly chose to take full responsibility for all legal matters. Her camp emphasized that, to their knowledge, no Last Will and Testament exists that grants sole authority to any single individual, contradicting earlier public statements.

The legal representative also touched upon a deeply personal rift, revealing that a foundation previously established by Lotlot and her other siblings had Ian’s initial support.

It was described as "deeply hurtful" when Ian later denied knowledge of the project once its social media presence went public. Since that incident, communication between the siblings has reportedly ceased.

Lotlot explained that her previous silence was rooted in a desire to maintain peace and respect for her mother’s memory during a difficult period of mourning.

However, she felt compelled to speak out now to ensure her name is not "dragged into something she is not a part of."

She maintains that she will continue to honor her mother’s legacy privately and truthfully, without the need for public business ventures.

As the family marks the first death anniversary of the "Superstar," the legal battle and public disagreements cast a shadow over the commemoration.

Lotlot’s camp concluded by requesting the media and the public to refrain from associating her name with her brother’s independent initiatives, as she remains focused on her own independent path and charitable efforts.
