Daveigh Chase’s father is asking a judge to deny her mother’s request to be appointed as the administrator of her 6-figure estate. John Schwallier has filed legal docs opposing Cathy Chase’s motion to oversee the Ring star’s estate. Instead, Schwallier has nominated a neutral licensed professional fiduciary to take on the job.
The legal docs note that Daveigh was emancipated from Cathy as a minor due to “allegations of financial irregularities” by Cathy, and they were “separated” ever since. The filing says Daveigh was actually “estranged” from both parents at the time of her death, which is why a neutral administrator should be in charge.
Cathy had asked to be in charge of Daveigh’s estate, reasoning she was never married and had no children. The Ring star was living in an RV on Los Angeles’s Skid Row when she died in June. Her cause of death was determined to be acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and drug use, ruled as natural causes.
