Chadwick Boseman passed away without a will, and now his wife has filed probate in the L. A County Courts to handle his Million dollar estate.
According to new legal documents, obtained by The Bla-st, the ‘Black Panther’ star ‘passed away int*state’ meaning without a legal will, and now his wife — Taylor Simone Ledward — is asking a judge to make her exe*utor of his estate.
As we reported, the award-winning actor passed away after a 4 year ba-ttle with colon canc-er, and many of his fellow actors and fans had no idea he was s!ck.
According to the legal documents, Chadwick’s estate is worth $939,000, which included 936,000 in “personal property.”
‘Black Panther’ Star’s Estate Listed At Only $939,000: The number seems surprisingly low, but it’s possible this only accounts for the actor’s real estate holdings and not the vast amount of income he received from blockbuster movies.
It’s possible much of his wealth is held in a trust and doesn’t necessarily need to be included with the probate filing. But, it is odd that someone who was undergoing from canc-er for such a long time didn’t have a will in place, in case he passed away.
