On October 15th, nearly two months after the death of Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman, his wife, Taylor Simone Ledward, filed documents with the Los Angeles probate court seeking to be named administrator of his estate. Earlier this year, Boseman and Ledward were married, and the marriage gives Ledward the right to any assets held in Boseman’s name at his death. Boseman died at age 43 on August 28th following a four-year battle with colon cancer, and based on the court documents, it seems the young actor died without a will. While Boseman’s failure to create a will is surprising, he’s far from the first celebrity to do so. In fact, numerous big-name starsAretha Franklin, Prince, and Jimi Hendrixall made the same mistake.

Happy Friday! In connection with Estate Planning Awareness Week, we are posting misconceptions about Estate Planning. Here’s Myth #4. The reality is that a power of attorney is only good while someone is alive, usually effective upon their incapacity. To handle a decedent’s affairs at their death, you must be appointed as an executor - or better yet - in the case of a Trust, as the Successor Trustee. Remember that the way to avoid probate is through a fully funded, properly d...rafted, living trust with disability provisions.
