Actor\u00a0Chadwick Boseman\u2019s brothers have filed a Los Angeles court petition on behalf of their parents against the late actor\u2019s widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, over her handling of his estate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Boseman, the star of \u201cBlack Panther\u201d who died in 2020 at the age of 43 from colon cancer, left $3.8 million in assets but no will, according to court documents seen by the BBC. As a result, the court awarded his wife 50% of the estate, with 25% going to each parent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But his brothers Derrick and Kevin say Ms. Ledward has not distributed the funds, maintains \u201cunilateral control\u201d over the estate and has not been transparent with his parents regarding deals involving the company managing his image and rights, according to multiple news reports.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The brothers argue that her actions are harming their elderly parents financially and emotionally and are denying them closure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Boseman starred as the king of Wakanda in the mega-hit \u201cBlack Panther.\u201d He also was nominated posthumously for an Oscar for Best Actor in \u201cMa Rainey\u2019s Black Bottom,\u201d his last movie.<\/p>\n

Ms. Ledward, an R&B artist known as Sahn, married Boseman just six days before his death but began dating him in 2015.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a statement, the brothers said they\u2019re seeking transparency and \u201cresponsible stewardship\u201d of Boseman\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n
