11/17/2025 11:28 AM PT -- A rep for the Goldman family tells TMZ ... "The Executor’s acceptance of the claim is a positive acknowledgement of the debt; however, it does not constitute payment. This acceptance simply allows the administration of the claim to move forward in probate. We will continue to monitor the probate process as it progresses.”

O.J. Simpson's estate seems one step closer to paying Fred Goldman money he's owed for winning his wrongful death lawsuit years ago ... because the estate's accepted a multimillion-dollar settlement.

Goldman originally asked for north of $117 million ... but, LaVergne argues that -- despite what he sees as a good faith effort on Goldman's part to determine an accurate amount -- the interest hasn't been calculated correctly.
