His widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, asked to be named an administrator of Boseman\u2019s estate, according to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2020\/10\/16\/chadwick-boseman-no-will-widow-taylor-simone-ledward-files-docs-administer-estate\/\" class=\"icon none\">TMZ<\/a>, which obtained the probate documents. Ledward married Boseman earlier this year after being together for five years. She listed his estate as almost $1 million \u2014 $938,500, to be exact, according to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2020\/10\/16\/chadwick-boseman-died-without-a-will-wife-files-probate-case\/\" class=\"icon none\">Page Six<\/a>. The documents state Boseman is also survived by his two parents. <\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n       The actor, who continued to work even after being diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2016, is far from the first celebrity to die without a will. Prince died without a will \u2014 also known as intestate \u2014 which caused chaos when numerous people began claiming family ties to the performer. Guitarist Jimi Hendrix also died without a will. <\/p>\n<p>There are also instances when celebrities haven\u2019t done enough, or the proper, estate planning. Late singer Aretha Franklin allegedly wrote three wills, but some were outdated or had illegible handwriting. The months following the death of Stan Lee, the creator of the Marvel Universe that Boseman played in, were also challenging because of a messy estate plan.  <\/p>\n<p>Only a third of people said they had a will in 2020, 24% less than in 2017, according to a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.caring.com\/caregivers\/estate-planning\/wills-survey\" class=\"icon none\">Caring.com <\/a>and YouGov survey of 2,400 people. Older and middle-aged adults were 20% and 25% less likely to have a will this year than last, they said. The reasons? They hadn\u2019t gotten around to it, they didn\u2019t have enough money to leave anyone, it was too expensive to set up or they didn\u2019t know how to go about the process. <\/p>\n<p>While it may seem like a daunting task, creating the right estate plan and filling out the proper documentation is crucial \u2014 not just for an individual\u2019s assets after she dies, but also for loved ones left behind. It\u2019s possible to create, improve or update these forms, even during a pandemic \u2014 which is yet another example of how important it is to have the right paperwork in place in the event of an unexpected emergency.  <\/p>\n<p>Boseman\u2019s death devastated fans around the world, many of whom took home videos and photos of themselves and their children doing the \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/movies\/chadwick-boseman-fan-tributes-from-around-the-world\/\" class=\"icon none\">Wakanda forever<\/a>\u201d sign, a tribute to the actor and his role in Marvel\u2019s \u201cBlack Panther.\u201d The star was beloved for his other films as well, such as when he played baseball legend Jackie Robinson in \u201c42,\u201d musical sensation James Brown in \u201cGet on Up\u201d and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall in \u201cMarshall.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cA true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much,\u201d his family said after <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chadwickboseman\/status\/1299530165463199747\/photo\/2\" class=\"icon none\">announcing<\/a> his death. \u201cIt was the honor of his career to bring King T\u2019Challa to life in Black Panther.\u201d <\/p>\n<div data-layout=\"\n              inline\" data-layout-mobile=\"\" class=\"\n        media-object\n        type-InsetCommentingPromo\n            \n            inline\n  article__inset\n        article__inset--type-InsetCommentingPromo\n            article__inset--inline\n  \"><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>      <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Alessandra Malito\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alessandra_Malito\"><\/span>Alessandra Malito<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">News category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/news\/story.asp?guid=%7B7F0AE7BE-0FF1-11EB-AF2B-AE3158C21537%7D&#038;siteid=rss&#038;rss=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;# \u2018Black Panther\u2019 star Chadwick Boseman didn\u2019t have a will \u2014 like many Americans &#8221; Only a third of people said they had a will in 2020, one survey found.
