Chadwick Boseman’s wife and parents will split his $2.3-million fortune evenly after he died without leaving a will.
According to a report published Friday by Shadow and Act, the “Black Panther” star’s widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, is in charge of his estate and has asked the court to distribute the funds equally between her and Boseman’s parents, Leroy and Carolyn Boseman.
Actor Boseman began dating Ledward, a musician before he was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2016. The couple wed privately before the Oscar nominee died of the disease in August 2020 at 43 years old.
In January 2021, Ledward tearfully honored her late husband at the Gotham Awards, where he received a posthumous tribute “in acknowledgement not only of his profound work but of his impact on this industry and this world.”
The court allowed Ledward to be reimbursed for the requested amount of $47,000, which included funeral service. $1,275 (£1048) for the flowers., a mausoleum crypt at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Anderson, South Carolina (Boseman’s hometown), and mausoleum crypts for Boseman’s parents to be laid to rest next to their late son.
Ledward reveals the total inventoried value of Boseman’s estate is $3,881,758.31. That amount includes several residual checks that have come in since March 2021.
