Chadwick Boseman’s Family Feud: Estate Drama 6 Years Later

Six years after Chadwick Boseman’s death, his family is in a full-blown battle over his estate—and his widow is allegedly the one holding up the money. According to reports, Boseman’s brothers are claiming that his wife, Taylor Simone Ledward, hasn’t distributed 25% of the actor’s estate to each of his parents. Yeah, you read that right.

The Black Panther star passed away in August 2020 from colon cancer at just 43 years old. At the time of his death, Boseman had no will in place, which means South Carolina’s intestacy laws kicked in to determine how his massive estate would be divided. But apparently, things have gotten messy—and fast.

Boseman’s brothers are now publicly calling out Ledward for allegedly dragging her feet on distributing the inheritance to their parents. The exact amount in question? Unknown. But given Boseman’s Hollywood A-list status and years of blockbuster hits, we’re talking serious money here.

Ledward hasn’t publicly responded to the allegations, and details about what’s really holding up the distribution remain murky. What we do know? Family feuds over money are messy. Celebrity family feuds over multi-million dollar estates? Absolutely brutal.
