Chadwick Boseman’s widow Simone Ledward named administrator of his $1M estate three months after his cancer death – The Sun

CHADWICK Boseman's widow, Simone Ledward, has been named as the administrator of his estate.

The Black Panther actor had assets valued at $938,500 and did not leave a will before he died in August aged 43 from colon cancer.

Simone is now the personal representative with limited authority of Chadwick's estate, People reported.

She has until February 22, 2021, to file a $939,000 bond and distribute the assets, according to court filings.

Simone – who got engaged to Chadwick last year – had put in a petition to administrate the Marvel star's estate in October.

Chadwick and Simone, who kept their relationship out of the spotlight, were last seen together publicly at February's NBA All-Star Game – in which the late Kobe Bryant was honored.


The 21 Bridges star previously paid tribute to Simone during his acceptance speech at the 50th NAACP Image Awards in March last year.

"Simone, you're with me every day. I have to acknowledge you right now. Love you," he said.

Chadwick was diagnosed with stage three cancer in 2016, and secretly had "countless surgeries and chemotherapy".

His brothers, Kevin and Derrick, recently revealed the star was "ready to die" just before he lost his battle with cancer.


Derrick Boseman, who is a pastor in Tennessee, told the New York Times that Chadwick said: "Man, I'm in the fourth quarter, and I need you to get me out of the game."

Derrick went on: "When he told me that, I changed my prayer from, 'God heal him, God save him,' to 'God, let your will be done. And the next day he passed away."

Chadwick died at his home in Los Angeles on August 28.

He was buried on September 3 at Welfare Baptist Church Cemetery in Belton, South Carolina, about 11 miles from Boseman’s hometown of Anderson.
