Zsa Zsa Gabor Husband Has to ... Pack Up and Move Out
Zsa Zsa Gabor struck a sweet deal on her Bel-Air mansion, and now that she's died ... it means her widower has to find a new place to live ASAP.
Sources close to Zsa Zsa tell TMZ ... Frederic Prinz von Anhalt has to move out of the home he shared with her because he has no ownership rights. Gabor actually sold the mansion in 2013, but made a "life estate" deal which allowed her to live out her days there. Hugh Hefner has the same setup at the Playboy Mansion.
We're told the buyer has been great to Zsa Zsa and her husband, so Frederic isn't being rushed out -- escrow still has to close and he'll likely have 90 days to find a new pad. Zsa Zsa's realtor, Roger Perry, is currently helping him with that.
Our sources say Gabor's home was listed for $14.9 million, and sold to a commercial real estate mogul who plans to renovate it, or possibly tear it down.
Zsa Zsa's mansion was the setting for HBO's Liberace biopic, "Behind the Candelabra" in 2013, and was reportedly once home to Elvis Presley and Howard Hughes.

Jerry Heller Nephew Wants to Breathe New Life Into N.W.A. Suit
Jerry Heller's nephew wants a judge to let him create and run an estate for his late uncle ... purely for the purpose of taking down Ice Cube and Dr. Dre in court.
Lawyers for Terry Heller filed docs Tuesday asking he be named executor of Jerry's will -- all because he plans to pursue the defamation suit against everyone behind "Straight Outta Compton."
Sources close to Terry tell TMZ ... all of Jerry's assets were already put into a private trust before his death, and the only reason he's doing this is to change the name of the plaintiff from Jerry to Jerry's estate ... 'cause dead guys can't sue.
You'll recall ... Jerry sued Dre, Cube and other producers of 'Compton' for $110 mil last year, claiming the film falsely made him look like "the bad guy." A judge has tossed most of the case since then, but there's still 2 questionable scenes on the table.
