Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss Died Without a Will, Allison Holker Files for Control of Estate in Court Documents
Allison Holker Boss is asking a California court for Stephen “tWitch” Boss‘ half of their joint estate after the dancer died without a will.
Stephen died by suicide on Dec. 13. He was 40. In court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Allison filed a California Spousal Property Petition in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County on Monday, which is standard procedure in situations like this.
Though California law says that a surviving spouse is entitled to their spouse’s half of their joint estate once they’re deceased, the living spouse has to file the petition to prove that they actually are the spouse of the person who died.
In the filing, Allison is asking for a “determination of property passing to the surviving spouse” as well as “confirmation of property belonging to the surviving spouse.”
The filing details property, including quasi-community property, that Allison wants the court to rule she will receive as Stephen’s surviving spouse.
“This includes any interest in a trade or business name of any unincorporated business or an interest in any unincorporated business that the deceased partner was operating or managing at the time of death,” court documents state in part.
Allison Holker Boss is not asking for administration over Stephen’s estate.
The filing also includes facts about Allison and Stephen’s relationship that Allison hoped would confirm she is his surviving spouse, pointing out that they were married on Dec. 10, 2013, and had a”nil” net worth. Stephen did not receive any property through a gift, joint tenancy, life insurance or any other beneficiaries after their wedding date.
It also pointed out that Stephen lived in California for the entirety of their marriage, and he and Allison didn’t have any written agreements between them concerning how their properties would be divided.
Allison Holker Boss is ultimately requesting Stephen’s half of Stephen Boss Productions and Goldman Sachs investment account as well as royalties from Cast and Crew Production Services; Disney Worldwide Services, Inc.; GEP Talent Services, LLC; and SAG/AFTRA, per the court filing.
