Nearly six years after Chadwick Boseman’s death, a legal dispute has emerged over the administration of his estate.

Court documents obtained by Page Six show that Boseman’s brothers, Derrick and Kevin, have filed a petition on behalf of their parents, Leroy and Carolyn, seeking to remove the actor’s widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, as administrator of his estate.

The report said the filing alleges that Ledward has failed to carry out a 2022 court order requiring the distribution of the estate, which reportedly includes more than US$3.8 million in assets and cash.

According to the petition, Ledward inherited 50 per cent of the estate, while the remaining half was to be divided equally between Boseman’s parents. The family claims that, nearly four years later, those distributions have not been made.

The lawsuit, the report said, also accuses Ledward of maintaining sole control over the estate and preventing Boseman’s parents from participating in decisions affecting their interests.

The pair is also alleging that Ledward has not fully accounted for all estate assets, including royalties, residual payments, intellectual property rights, image rights, real estate, a previously undisclosed bank account and other personal property.

Boseman died on August 28, 2020, after a long battle with colon cancer.
