Holker, Allison Boss is suing Stephen “tWitch” Boss for half of their joint estate after the beloved dancer died without a will.

 

Stephen committed suicide on December 13th. He was 40.

 

Allison filed a California Spousal Property Petition in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County on Monday, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE on Wednesday. Though California law states that a surviving spouse is entitled to their deceased spouse’s half of their joint estate, the living spouse must file the petition to prove that they are the spouse of the deceased.

Allison requests a “determination of property passing to the surviving spouse” as well as “confirmation of property belonging to the surviving spouse” in her filing.

 

According to the papers, Stephen died intestate, or without a will.

 

Allison’s filing details the property, including quasi-community property, that she wishes the court to rule she is entitled to as Stephen’s surviving spouse.

 

“This includes any interest in any unincorporated business’s trade or business name or any interest in any unincorporated business that the deceased partner was operating or managing at the time of death,” court documents state.

Allison is not requesting administration of Stephen’s estate.

 

The filing also includes information about Allison and Stephen’s relationship that Allison hoped would confirm she is his surviving spouse, such as the fact that they married on December 10, 2013, and had a “nil” net worth. Stephen did not receive any property as a gift, joint tenancy, life insurance beneficiary, or from any other sources after their wedding date.

 

It also stated that Stephen lived in California for the duration of their marriage and that he and Allison had no written agreements regarding how their property would be divided.

According to the court filing, Allison 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.

 

Allison confirmed her husband’s death exclusively to PEOPLE on December 14.

 

“It is with heavy hearts that I inform you that my husband Stephen has left us,” Allison said. “Stephen brightened every room he entered. Above all, he valued family, friends, and community, and leading with love and light was everything to him. He was our family’s rock, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.”

“To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt,” she continued. “I am certain there won’t be a day that goes by that we won’t honor his memory. We ask for privacy during this difficult time for myself and especially for our three children.”

Closing her statement, Allison shared a message for her husband. “Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you,” she concluded.
