Chadwick Boseman's family sues his widow over estate
Chadwick Boseman's family filed a lawsuit on July 17, 2026 seeking to remove his widow Taylor Simone Ledward as administrator of his estate.
The lawsuit alleges Ledward has not distributed assets per a 2022 court order directing 25% of the estate to each of Boseman's parents.
The estate was listed at approximately $151,000 cash, $241,000 in an IRA account, and $3.3 million in stock belonging to Chadwick Boseman, Inc.
The family claims undisclosed assets including royalties, residual payments, image and intellectual property rights, real estate, and a bank account.
The family alleges Ledward controls Chadwick Boseman, Inc. and profits from Boseman's fame while preventing them from pursuing business opportunities.
