Actor's Mom Inherits Estate Fight After Death
9 Apr
Summary
- T.K. Carter died January 9, 2026, amid a dispute over his wife's estate.
- His mother seeks control of his estate to continue the legal battle.
- The fight concerns a will signed days before his wife's death.
Actor T.K. Carter passed away on January 9, 2026, at the age of 69. At the time of his death, he was actively engaged in a bitter legal conflict concerning the estate of his late wife, Sandra Collier-Carter, who died on November 18, 2024.
Carter's mother, Lois Gaston, has now stepped forward, filing documents to assume control of her son's estate. This move is anticipated to empower her to pursue the ongoing legal battle over Sandra's assets.
The central issue revolves around a will presented by Sandra's brother, Kenneth Collier. He claims the will, allegedly signed just three days before Sandra's death while she was in hospice care and on painkillers, designates him as the beneficiary of her California home, valued at $669K, a leased Mercedes SUV, and other personal items.
T.K. Carter had previously contested this will, deeming it "questionable at best" and expressing doubts about its legitimacy given his wife's vulnerable state. The legal proceedings have yet to reach a resolution.
