Cathy Chase Seeks Control of Daveigh Chase's $400,000 Estate After Intestate Death

Summary
$400,000 in personal property is at the center of a Los Angeles probate petition by Cathy Chase, who wants to be appointed administrator of daughter Daveigh Chase's estate.
Daveigh Chase died June 16 at age 35 without a will, spouse or children, so California intestacy law generally directs the estate to her surviving parents, Cathy Chase and John Schwallier.
The filing also asks the court to let Cathy Chase manage the estate under California's Independent Administration of Estates Act and to approve a $400,000 bond.
An Aug. 12 probate hearing will decide the petition, which says the administrator would have to protect assets, notify creditors, keep records and file an inventory with the court.
Chase, known for voicing Lilo in Disney's Lilo & Stitch and playing Samara in The Ring, was later ruled to have died from AIDS, with chronic polysubstance use listed as a significant condition.
