Chadwick Boseman's Brothers Want Widow Removed As Estate Administrator Over Alleged Mismanagement
TMZ • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Chadwick Boseman's brothers, Kevin and Derrick, have petitioned a Los Angeles court to remove his widow, Taylor Simone Ledward Boseman, as administrator of his estate nearly six years after his death, citing mismanagement.
- They claim Taylor has kept the family uninformed about the estate's status despite a 2022 court order granting their parents 50% ownership, and allege she has failed to distribute assets or provide a full accounting.
- The estate includes movie residuals, royalties, image rights, investments, insurance policies, bank accounts, and personal belongings, with over $3 million in assets reportedly unaccounted for by the family.
- Kevin and Derrick accuse Taylor of withholding funds and insurance owed to their parents, causing emotional distress, and profiting solely from Chadwick's name and image without family involvement.
- The brothers seek a court order to hold Taylor in contempt, force asset distribution and accounting within 30 days, remove her as administrator, appoint attorney Jason Rubin in her place, and impose restrictions on her handling of estate contracts and legal fees.
