Davey Chase’s father has asked him to oversee the late actress’s estate, following his mother’s previous request to be the custodian of her estate.
The former child star passed away last month at just 35 years old. In court documents obtained by Page Six earlier this month, his mother, Kathy Chase, said Davey left her $400,000 in personal property and asked the court to appoint her as administrator.
She claimed in the document that Davey’s father, John Schwarrier, is “residing in the Philippines at an unknown address” but also “maintains real estate” in Las Vegas.
However, in a court filing last Thursday, Chevalier asked the court to allow him to oversee his late daughter’s estate and appoint a qualified professional trustee and paralegal to act as administrator on his behalf.
He declined to accept the role himself. “I decline to serve as long as Megan Boling is appointed administrator and she is willing to continue to serve,” court documents obtained by Page Six read.
Davie died without a will and was “unprotected in Los Angeles” at the time of her death, according to the filing.
A hearing is scheduled for August 26 in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
John Ryan, Davie’s former manager of more than a decade, told the Post that at the time of her death there were “millions” of unclaimed checks.
Ryan said the late actress, who was struggling with addiction issues, had “gone too far” to ask for a check.
In disturbing footage exclusively obtained by The Post last month, Davey can be seen lying extremely thin and barely conscious on the floor of a tent or trailer on Los Angeles’ infamous Skid Row.
Ryan told the outlet that in 2025, with the help of his sister-in-law Gaia Brown and a private investigator, he tracked her down and called for help, but after he was able to speak to Davey on the phone, she “disappeared” again.
“We were so close to finding her,” he told the Post. “Davey was the kindest, brightest light in Hollywood. It’s hard to believe this is real. Her legacy and work will live on forever.”
