Widow Clashes With Chadwick Boseman's Brothers Over Estate
25 Sep
Summary
- Ledward-Boseman calls brothers' estate claims a baseless attack.
- She distributed nearly all assets, including over $3.4 million in stock.
- The late actor married Ledward-Boseman six days before his death.
Taylor Simone Ledward-Boseman has launched a strong defense against her late husband Chadwick Boseman's brothers, Derrick and Kevin Boseman, who are challenging her role as administrator of his estate. Ledward-Boseman denounces their legal action as a "baseless attack" and a "public-relations stunt" aimed at damaging her reputation.
Her legal team asserts that she has not only fulfilled but exceeded court requirements in distributing Chadwick Boseman's assets. Significant distributions include over $3.4 million in Chadwick Boseman, Inc. stock, a Bank of America account with $151,558, and another account containing $241,000. She also provided $75,000 each to the brothers at their parents' request.
The filing highlights Ledward-Boseman's generosity, noting she contributed over $300,000 of her own funds to the brothers' children. Additionally, she has actively worked to preserve Chadwick's legacy through initiatives like the Chadwick Boseman Foundation for the Arts and securing a documentary deal.
Legal documents reveal that Chadwick Boseman died without a will in August 2020, six days after marrying Ledward-Boseman. The brothers initiated their petition in July, alleging failure to distribute assets dating back to 2022. Ledward-Boseman counters that the brothers' claims omit crucial context and that remaining assets, like a $300,000 IRA, were held back due to their legal action.
