It's been almost a year since Diff'rent Strokes star Gary Coleman passed away and as the bitter feud over his estate continues, his ashes still remain in an attorney's office, a rep for ex-wife Shannon Price tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.

"He's still sitting in the third party attorney's office," spokesperson Shielia Erickson tells RadarOnline.com exclusively, referring to court-appointed attorney Robert Jeffs, who's overseeing the estate. (A phone call to Jeffs' office for comment was not returned.)

"The judge wanted the matter to be resolved within six months and it's exceeded that," she adds.

Even in death, Gary Coleman’s finances are a mess.

The Diff’rent Strokes actor struggled financially for most of his life despite having starred on the hit show, and now a bank has reduced the already cut-rate price of his home, which is in foreclosure.

Coleman bought his final home in Santaquin, Utah five years ago for $320,000 and the price has now been dropped to $225,000 RadarOnline.com has learned.

Gary Coleman's ex-wife Shannon Price is living in squalor, RadarOnline.com revealed on Saturday, and now we have the photo proof of the despicable conditions at her Utah home.

Price invited Inside Edition's Jim Moret into her house of hell to see first-hand the dirt and filth that she wakes up to each morning.

"This looks like an episode from Hoarders," said a shocked Moret, describing Price's house that she shares with her dad, brother and three dogs.

“I lost everything when Gary died," Shannon revealed. “It’s difficult…It’s embarrassing…It just sickens me and it’s not a healthy environment…Gary would be very upset if he knew I was living in that house.”

The Diff'rent Strokes star's ex took Moret into a bedroom piled high with clothes, bedding and shelves. The walls are bare, the uncarpeted floor barely visible under all the clutter. Rays of light struggle to shine through the grimy windows that are scantily covered by scraps of material pinned across them.

Next stop is the kitchen, which isn't fit to stand in never mind cook a meal! Dirty dishes fill the sink and every counter space, food is burned into the stove and more clothes are thrown onto dining room chairs. The cupboard doors all hang open and drawers are broken or missing.

Moret needed to hose himself off after entering the bathroom, where thick black grime stains the bathtub and sink, the mirror is impossible to see through and yet more clothes litter the floor. Price doesn't even shower there, instead she goes to a neighbor's which is clean and hygienic.

Shannon met the diminutive Diff'rent Strokes star in 2007, and they were briefly married in 2008.

Eighties TV star Gary Coleman died of natural causes after he accidentally fell at his home, according to Salt Lake City authorities Wednesday, who said the findings mark the end of a police investigation into the Diff'rent Strokes star's death less than five months ago.

Santaquin Police Chief Dennis Howard said that autopsy results and evidence found at Coleman's Santaquin, Utah home support the idea that the 42-year-old actor's untimely demise was accidental, RadarOnline.com has learned.

As the court case over Gary Coleman’s estate wages on, his ex-wife’s attorney is taking the next step to ensure Shannon Price comes out on top. In exclusive documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, her lawyer Todd Bradford officially filed a petition in Utah on Wednesday requesting the court identify Shannon and Gary’s union as common law marriage.

EXCLUSIVE DOCUMENTS: Shannon Price Files For Common Law Marriage

“Today we’re filing papers asking the court to recognize that they [Shannon and Gary] were legally married under common law,” Bradford told RadarOnline.com exclusively.

“In Utah if you’re common law marriage you’re the same as if you were married by ceremony. You’re recognized as being married for all the same purposes as a married couple is.” Gary’s ex-manager Anna Gray is named as the executor of his 2005 will and is locked in a legal battle with Shannon, who has a handwritten codicil from 2007. Shannon and Gary married in August 2007 and divorced in 2008, but Shannon claims they rekindled their relationship and were common law husband and wife up until Gary passed away on May 28.

According to the state of Utah’s common law marriage code, five conditions have to be met: both parties are of legal marriage age and are able to give consent, are capable of being married, live(d) together as man and wife, assume(d) marital responsibilities and duties, and “held themselves out” as husband and wife and others perceive(d) them to be married.

Among the reasons listed in the documents that Bradford claims prove Gary and Shannon’s union was a common law marriage are: the couple continued a “romantic relationship” even after the divorce; they attended to each others physical, emotional and welfare needs; filed joint taxes; celebrated holidays together; and jointly owned and shared personal property.

“After the entry of the decree of divorce, Petitioner and the decedent continued to have a romantic relationship and engaged in romantic and sexual relations,” as stated in the petition.

“During the post divorce relationship, Petitioner and the decedent each manifested their intent and consent to be married, evidenced by: The decedent named Petitioner as the sole beneficiary of his pension account, the decedent applied for Supplemental Security Income on April 28, 2010, naming Petitioner as his wife, the decedent applied for Social Security Benefits on April 28, 2010, naming Petitioner as his wife.”

The other parties involved in the case, including Gary’s parents Willie & Edmonia Sue Coleman, Anna Gray, and special administrator Robert Jeffs, will have 20 days to file any objections.

“I don’t know what other information they would file trying to disprove a common law marriage,” Bradford said. “I think this is going to be one of the bigger issues in determining the rights of all the parties. We’re going to see if they file anything in the next 20 days. I don’t think the parents’ attorney would. If anyone, I’m guessing it would be Anna’s attorney.”

According to the petition, Shannon is asking the court for an order declaring her Gary’s surviving spouse, which would ultimately entitle her to the late Diff’rent Strokes star’s estate.

“If you name your spouse in a will as a personal representative or beneficiary or some other capacity, upon divorce that revokes it. But upon remarriage it revives,” Bradford explained. “It would be a huge step [for Shannon] and I think if we get the judge to grant a common law marriage. Part of me wonders if Anna will just drop out at that point because the law is pretty clear. Upon remarriage it revives any will and documents.

“That issue needs to be decided before you can decide who the personal representative is, who the beneficiary is, who’s in control of the assets,” Bradford added. “That’s a major issue in determining those other issues. So that needs to be decided first and that’s why that’s our next move. We want Shannon to be recognized as his spouse.”

Although Diff'rent Strokes star Gary Coleman left a pension that could be worth millions, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that he also left his benefactor a stack of unpaid medical bills worth up to $200,000.

But in a war of wills, a Utah court has yet to decide who will be Coleman’s beneficiary.

Former manager Anna Gray has a 2005 will making her the executor; ex-wife Shannon Price filed a 2007 handwritten codicil -- or revision to the will -- that benefits her.
