The late actor's siblings claim she has mishandled distribution of the funds and "cannot be trusted".

Chadwick Boseman's brothers are taking the late US actor's widow to court over her handling of his multimillion-dollar estate. Derrick Boseman and Kevin Boseman have filed a petition with a Los Angeles court to force the Black Panther star's widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, to distribute money to family members, and to have her removed as controller of his estate. They claim she has mishandled distribution of the funds and "cannot be trusted with the continued administration of the estate". Boseman died at the age of 43 in 2020, four years after being diagnosed with colon cancer. He is best remembered for playing the lead role of T'Challa, king of Wakanda, in Oscar-winning 2018 Marvel blockbuster Black Panther. According to court documents seen by BBC News, Boseman had assets worth $3.8m (£2.9m) but died without a will. A court decided that 50% should go to Boseman's widow, who was also appointed the estate's administrator, with 25% to each of his parents. The actor's brothers filed the court petition last week on behalf of their parents, Leroy and Carolyn Boseman. The petition said Ledward "has still not distributed the estate" and "continues to exert unilateral control" over it.
