Sale of Aaron Hernandez's home for $1.3M falls through

— -- NEW BEDFORD, Mass. -- Aaron Hernandez's home is back on the market after an agreement to sell it for $1.3 million fell through.

The Boston Herald reports that a lawyer for the late New England Patriots player told a probate judge on Monday that Hernandez's estate has also been bolstered by the discovery of a 401(k) plan valued at about $167,000 and another account totaling $50,000. No beneficiary for either was named.

Attorney George Leontire said the sale fell through because the potential buyers, whom he declined to name, "didn't want to have a lot of publicity," according to The Boston Globe.

Hernandez bought the 7,100-square-foot home in North Attleborough, Massachusetts, in 2012 for $1.3 million.

Hernandez's estate is facing several wrongful death lawsuits, and the assets could be used to pay damages in those cases.

"Frankly, I told all these plaintiffs that we need to sit down and try to -- whatever assets we come up with -- try and find a way to deal with this, because with all these various actions pending, the estate's got to pay a lawyer to defend against them, to settle them, whatever," Leontire said, according to the Herald.

In another development, Leontire filed an emergency motion with the court to extend the appointment of Hernandez's fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins Hernandez, as the estate's special personal representative.

Marlee Cowan, an attorney for Lloyd's estate, urged the appointment of an independent special personal representative, arguing that because Jenkins Hernandez's daughter is the estate's primary beneficiary there is a conflict of interest.

The judge took both requests under advisement.

Hernandez was serving a life sentence for the 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd when he hanged himself in prison in April days after his acquittal in a double slaying.
