Chadwick Boseman's widow, Taylor Simone Ledward is asking a judge to make her an administrator with limited authority of his estate after the actor died without a will.
.
According to court documents obtained by ET, the Black Panther star "died intestate," meaning he did not have a legal will. Boseman passed away in August at 43 following a four-year secret battle with colon cancer.
.
As a result, his wife has now filed a probate case at the Los Angeles County Courts on Thursday, October 15, in an attempt to become an administrator of his estate, which is estimated to be worth $938,500.
.
Boseman’s parents Leroy and Carolyn Boseman are also mentioned in the documents.
.
Boseman and Ledward married shortly before his death. The pair started dating in 2015 before Boseman was diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago.
.
The late actor's family said that he and Ledward had tied the knot in a statement confirming the star’s “wife” was by his side when he tragically passed away.
.
It read: “He died in his home, with his wife and family by his side.
.
“The family thanks you for your love and prayers, and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time.”
