Chadwick Boseman’s brothers say their legal fight with the late actor’s widow is about bringing “clarity” to the handling of his estate.
Kevin and Derrick Boseman, who filed a petition in Los Angeles are seeking to remove Taylor Simone Ledward as administrator, released a statement saying they took the action on behalf of their parents, Leroy and Carolyn Boseman.
The brothers allege Ledward has failed to properly distribute assets nearly four years after a court ordered the estate’s final distribution, leaving matters involving Boseman’s intellectual property and legacy unresolved.
They also claim royalties, residuals, image rights, real estate, and other assets have yet to be fully accounted for. “Our hope is that this process brings clarity, honours the Court’s orders, and ensures the responsible stewardship of Chadwick’s legacy,” the family said in a statement.
Chadwick Boseman died in 2020 at age 43 after a private battle with colon cancer and now, six years after his death, Marvel has named British star David Jonsson as the next T’challa and will play, who would play Boseman’s son in Black Panther 3.
