Chadwick Boseman’s estate was valued at approximately $3.8 million at the time of his death. After accounting for administrative expenses, probate costs, debts, taxes, and other obligations, the estate’s net value was approximately $2.3 million. Taylor Simone Ledward waived her statutory compensation as administrator, reducing the overall costs associated with estate administration.
The estate’s assets primarily consist of stock in Chadwick Boseman, Inc., the entity responsible for managing aspects of the actor’s name, likeness, and legacy. The estate also includes cash assets and an IRA account.
Boseman’s family alleges that Ledward’s accounting did not fully disclose all estate assets. According to their petition, additional assets that should have been accounted for include “royalties and residuals, image and intellectual property rights, real property, [and] a previously undisclosed bank account.”
