Chadwick Boseman Family Sues Widow Taylor Simone Ledward Over Estate
Plus, the brothers allege that Taylor “failed to officially account for” numerous residual payments from SAG-AFTRA since 2020 that should have been distributed, per the 2022 court order.
Finally, Chadwick’s family claims that Taylor is not distributing the rights to Chadwick’s image and intellectual property.
“These rights properly belong to Decedent’s heirs,” the filing stated, “but are ostensibly managed by Chadwick Boseman, Inc., a corporate entity completely controlled by [Taylor] and through which she continues to profit from Decedent’s fame.”
As such, Chadwick’s family alleged that Taylor has “blocked” them from “pursuing lucrative business opportunities that might benefit Decedent’s elderly parents.”
Kevin and Derrick claim that Taylor’s handling of Chadwick’s estate “creates the appearance that she is concealing assets from Decedent’s family and from the Court” and have requested that the court compel her to properly distribute the late actor’s estate and remove her as the administrator of it.
