Kevin and Derrick Boseman want a judge to strip Taylor of her estate powers
On July 22, 2026, Kevin and Derrick Boseman filed court documents to remove Taylor Simone Ledward Boseman as administrator of Chadwick Boseman’s estate. The brothers claim she failed to distribute the 50 percent asset share due to their parents, violating a 2022 court mandate.
The legal dispute surrounding Chadwick Boseman’s estate has taken a bitter turn. Almost six years after his death, his family is fighting in court.
ValidUpdates understands that his brothers accuse his widow of financial mismanagement. They claim she has kept the family in the dark about his assets.
Unpaid shares and court orders
According to court documents, Kevin and Derrick targeted Taylor Simone Ledward Boseman. They accuse her of ignoring a 2022 court order regarding the estate.
A judge legally awarded half of the assets to Chadwick’s parents, Leroy and Carolyn Boseman. However, the new filing claims they have not received their funds.
Demands for immediate accountability
The disputed estate includes valuable movie royalties and intellectual property rights. It also holds various investments and bank accounts. The brothers say the family remains entirely blind to the finances.
Taylor allegedly continues to control these funds entirely on her own. She has not transferred vital insurance benefits to Leroy and Carolyn.
Now, the brothers want the court to hold her in contempt. They are asking the judge to appoint a brand new administrator. Furthermore, they demand a full financial accounting within 30 days.
