Chadwick Boseman’s Wife Files Probate Case As Actor Died Without A Will

Chadwick Boseman’s wife, Taylor Simone Ledward, filed probate documents asking a judge to make her an administrator to the late actor’s estate. ET reports that it was filed on Thursday in Los Angeles.

The documents note that Boseman “died intestate,” which means he did not have a will despite being aware of his diagnosis for four years. As we reported, he passed away from colon cancer on Aug. 28. He was just 43 and is also survived by his parents.

Per reports, the estimated value of Boseman’s estate is $938,500. Boseman and Ledward secretly wed in 2020. They had dated since 2015, right before his cancer diagnosis. They got engaged in 2019.

The late actor’s family previously confirmed that Boseman and Ledward got married in the statement that announced his passing, “He died in his home, with his wife and family by his side,” the statement revealed.

Boseman shared a special message to Ledward, at the 2019 NAACP awards, “Simone, you’re with me every day. I have to acknowledge you right now. I love you. I love you.”
