Chadwick Boseman's Brothers Ask Court to Remove His Widow as Administrator of His Estate
The filing alleges she has not fully distributed assets and seeks contempt findings, a forensic accountant and tighter control over the actor’s name and image.
- On Friday, July 17, brothers Derrick and Kevin Boseman filed a petition in Los Angeles Superior Court seeking to remove their late brother Chadwick Boseman's widow, Taylor Simone Ledward-Boseman, as estate administrator, alleging financial mismanagement.
- A 2022 court order valued the estate at $3.8 million and divided it with 50% to Ledward-Boseman and 25% each to parents Leroy and Carolyn Boseman; the brothers now allege this total is incomplete.
- The petition claims Ledward-Boseman failed to distribute assets including bank accounts exceeding $3 million and SAG-AFTRA residuals, with brothers alleging she is "willfully defying a clear directive" and "concealing assets" from the family.
- Seeking accountability, the brothers requested the court appoint forensic accountant Jason Rubin to investigate, demanding a complete financial accounting within 30 days and veto power over future contracts involving the actor's likeness.
- Claiming the delay denies the family "long overdue closure," the brothers cite financial insecurity at a "vulnerable age." The filing reflects broader trends in celebrity estate disputes, including recent challenges by Malcolm-Jamal Warner's widow.
