Hollywood actor, Chadwick Boseman died without leaving a will and because of that his wife and parents will share his $2.3-million fortune equally.
Taylor Simone Ledward, the movie star’s wife has been in charge of the late “Black Panther” star’s estate since his demise.
Now, she is asking the court to share his estate evenly with the late actor’s parents, Leroy and Carolyn Boseman.
Before he was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2016, Chadwick Boseman and his fiance Ledward started dating.
Prior to his sudden death, the actor and his girlfriend held a private wedding before he died of the disease in August 2020 at 43 years old.
In January 2021, an emotional Ledward honoured her late husband at the Gotham Awards, where he received a posthumous tribute “in acknowledgement not only of his profound work but of his impact on this industry and this world.”
“He was able to give himself over fully in every moment, to be totally present in his own life and in the lives of people he became,” the widow said while accepting the honour on her late partner’s behalf.
“He was blessed to live many lives within his concentrated one. … He developed his understanding of what it meant to be the none, the one and the all. ‘A vessel to be poured into and out of,’ he said. He harnessed the power of letting go and letting God’s love shine through,” Chadwick Boseman‘s wife concluded.
