A media outlet recently said that even though Chadwick Boseman was fighting against cancer for many years, he didn’t manage to find the time to craft a proper will before he passed. A new report from the outlet asserted that Boseman left behind a small fortune and now it’s uncertain who will control it.
As it was early reported earlier this year, the Black Panther star died when he was 43-years-old in August, and since then, his friends and fans in the entertainment business have been releasing tribute posts en masse.
Fans of Boseman know he kept his colon cancer battle personal, and he never told anyone in the business, with the exception of a few suggested during interviews. For instance, during one interview, Chadwick jokingly said he was going via lot, but never said what it was about.
Regardless, Boseman’s wife, Taylor Simone Ledward, has filed court documents in a Los Angeles County court to officiate her authority over the deceased actor’s estate. She desired to be made the administrator over his assests, but she hasn’t been designated as such yet.
People Magazine was the 1st to report that Chadwick Boseman left behind just $938,500, in spite of his very successful movie career. It’s not clear how much the actor had to spend on his cancer treatments in the years leading up to his death. As most know, Taylor and Chadwick lived a very private life away from the cameras and internet. Regarding the court documents, People Magazine says his widow listed Chadwick’s parents as his living relatives, but it’s not clear if they will be given administration duties over his estate.
