Recently, Allison Holker was granted half of her late husband Stephen “Twitch” Boss’s estate.
According to documents obtained by US Weekly a judge from the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County signed off on her request after she proved that she was in fact married to Boss at the time of his death.
She was granted her “property passing” rights but the filing pointed out that “no administration of [the estate] is necessary.”
While California law dictates that the surviving spouse is entitled to half of their partner’s assets once they’ve passed, the widow must file a petition to legally take over the money and property.
Boss’ assets included 100 percent ownership of Stephen Boss Productions, according to the documents.
Holker asked the judge that she be awarded half of all of the hip hop dancer’s current and future earnings as he “owned nothing of value” when they tied the knot.
The Minnesota native further claimed that all “existing assets were acquired during the marriage, by virtue of the work, skills and efforts of the parties” and that she and Boss have “no written agreements between” them that would have “impacted the determination that the assets were community property.”
The choreographer pointed out in her petition that her late partner “had numerous projects and performed as dancer, choreographer, actor and producer which resulted in rights to royalties” that should now be partially allotted to her and her children.
Holker — who shares daughters Weslie, 14, and Zaia, 3, and son Maddox, 7, with Boss — attached proof of the royalties with her filing, most of which came from Stephen Boss Productions.
The Alabama native welcomed son Maddox in 2016 and daughter Zaia in 2019 with Holker. He also adopted her daughter Weslie when they got married in 2013.
The late star’s work as the DJ on The Ellen DeGeneres Show could also earn royalties if there are reruns in the future.
The judge’s order on the case read: “The Court finds that sufficient evidence has been provided to grant the matter on the calendar this date based upon the reading of the moving papers and consideration of all presented evidence.”
Us confirmed in December 2022 that Boss died by suicide at the age of 40. Holker, who met the TV personality in 2010 while working on SYTYCD.
