Chadwick Boseman’s brothers ask court to oust widow as estate administrator: 'Cannot be trusted'

The brothers of the late actor Chadwick Boseman have filed a legal petition to remove his widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, from her position as administrator of his estate. Derrick and Kevin Boseman claim that Ledward has failed to distribute assets as required and state she cannot be trusted with the continued management of the funds.

According to the court filing, the estate includes royalties, image rights, and various financial assets. Because the actor died without a will, the legal distribution divided the estate between his widow and his parents. The brothers argue that their parents have been excluded from the process and that Ledward maintains full control without proper oversight or communication regarding the distribution of the inheritance.

The petition requests that the court appoint a private fiduciary and a forensic accountant to oversee the estate. The brothers allege that their current lack of access to the estate prevents them from pursuing business opportunities that would benefit their parents. They describe the action as a move to ensure transparency and accountability regarding their brother's legacy.

Representatives for Taylor Simone Ledward have not provided a response to the filing. The late actor died in 2020 at the age of 43 following a private battle with colon cancer. His family maintains that their objective is to honor his legacy through this legal process while protecting the interests of his surviving parents.
