Chadwick Boseman brothers try to oust widow as estate admin: 'Cannot be trusted'

Key Points:

• Chadwick Boseman’s brothers, Derrick and Kevin Boseman, have filed a petition in Los Angeles court seeking to remove Boseman’s widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, as administrator of his multimillion-dollar estate, alleging mismanagement and lack of transparency.
• The petition claims Ledward, who inherited 50% of the estate while Boseman’s parents each inherited 25%, has failed to fully distribute assets and continues to control the estate without input from the family, despite court orders.
• The brothers request the court to appoint a private fiduciary and forensic accountant to investigate the estate’s management and ensure proper accounting of all assets, citing that their parents are blocked from accessing potential business opportunities.
• Boseman died in 2020 at age 43 after a private battle with colon cancer; he was married to Ledward, an R&B artist, shortly before his death, and Ledward has since been active in colon cancer awareness advocacy.
• The brothers emphasize their commitment to preserving Chadwick Boseman’s legacy with dignity and respect, seeking transparency and accountability in the administration of his estate.
