Chadwick Boseman’s widow has been named the administrator of his estate.
Taylor Simone Ledward filed a probate case in October, as the “Black Panther” star died without a will. She requested a judge name her administrator of Boseman’s estate with limited authority. On Thursday, Nov. 19, the judge granted her legal request, Page Six confirmed.
The judge ordered bond in the amount of $939,000, and Ledward has to file a petition for final distribution no later than Feb. 22, 2022.
In her initial filing, Ledward listed the estimated value of Boseman’s estate as $938,500.
Boseman is survived by his parents, Leroy and Carolyn Boseman, and his wife, Ledward. No other family was listed in her probate filing.
The “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” star died on Aug. 28 after a battle with colon cancer. He was 43.
Boseman secretly married his longtime love before his death. They reportedly became engaged in October 2019.
