Daveigh Chase Estate: Father Battles Mom for Control
21 Aug
Summary
- Father contests mother's appointment as administrator of estate.
- Star was emancipated from mother due to financial irregularities allegations.
- Daveigh Chase died in an RV on Los Angeles's Skid Row.
A legal battle is unfolding over the estate of 'Ring' star Daveigh Chase, valued at over six figures. Her father, John Schwallier, has formally opposed his ex-wife Cathy Chase's request to be appointed administrator. Schwallier instead proposed Megan Boling, a licensed professional fiduciary, for the role.
According to court documents, Daveigh Chase was emancipated from her mother as a minor due to allegations of financial irregularities. This history, coupled with Daveigh being estranged from both parents at the time of her death, is cited as the reason for seeking a neutral administrator.
Cathy Chase had previously petitioned to manage the estate, stating she was unmarried and childless. Daveigh Chase died in June while residing in an RV on Los Angeles's Skid Row. Her passing was attributed to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and drug use, with the death ruled natural.
