The petition filed in California state court asks to hold her in contempt and issue an injunction barring her from exercising unilateral control over estate property.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBoseman died in August 2020 from colon cancer without a will. Under California law, his estate was divided equally between Ledward Boseman and his parents, who each got 25 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAccording to the petition, funds haven\u2019t been fully disbursed. Ledward Boseman \u201chas still not distributed the estate, nor has she filed a petition for discharge,\u201d states the filing, which notes that she continues to exercise \u201ccomplete control\u201d while shutting the actor\u2019s family out of decisions involving assets they also own.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThere\u2019s roughly $3.8 million in the estate, including cash, retirement accounts, a long-term care insurance policy and Chadwick Boseman Inc., the company that holds rights connected to the actor\u2019s name and intellectual property. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=4169\">New Destiny\u2019s Child Music Set to Be Released in the Next Month, Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s Father Says<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe petition accuses Ledward Boseman of failing to transfer some of those assets owed to the family while neglecting to account for residual payments from SAG-AFTRA and a previously undisclosed bank account. The $40,000 insurance policy belonging to Carolyn under a 2022 court order, for example, was never distributed.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAlso involved in the dispute: Boseman\u2019s image and intellectual property rights. Those rights are managed by Chadwick Boseman Inc., with Ledward Boseman and the actor\u2019s parents each owning 50 percent. The petition claims that Ledward Boseman has kept other family members in the dark regarding the company\u2019s operations and appointed herself as CEO without holding board meetings. She\u2019s allegedly used her control over the estate and the firm to enter into contracts assigning Chadwick\u2019s rights and prior works, including a deal with Words + Pictures Productions for a documentary about the actor\u2019s life. Another agreement involves a contract for production of \u201cDeep Azure,\u201d written by Chadwick.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cBy holding herself out as the sole authority over Decedent\u2019s assets, she is defrauding anyone she contracts with and puts those agreements at risk of recission,\u201d the petition filed on July 17 states. \u201cMeanwhile, Petitioners are blocked from pursuing lucrative business opportunities that might benefit Decedent\u2019s elderly parents. Her continued control over the estate also sows distrust among the beneficiaries and harms the well-being of Decedent\u2019s aging parents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn addition to seeking her removal as administrator, Boseman\u2019s parent request an order requiring Ledward Boseman, who didn\u2019t respond to a request for comment, to produce a complete accounting for every transaction made since she was appointed administrator in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=4167\">Harrison Ford Celebrates Michael J.
