The competing filings come after Chase died intestate, leaving no will to determine who should oversee her estate.
She was living on the streets in Los Angeles at the time of her death.
According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s report, Chase’s primary cause of death was acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or Aids, Page Six reported.
The report also cited chronic polysubstance use, described as the use of more than one drug, as another significant condition. Her death was ruled natural.
Despite court filings stating Chase had hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal property, a GoFundMe campaign was launched before her death by Roy Hernandez, who identified himself as her boyfriend.
However, long-time manager John Ryan disputed the fundraiser in comments to the California Post.
“Apparently, a man claiming to be her ‘boyfriend’ that none of us friends or her family has heard of has set up a GoFundMe on ‘her and her family’s behalf’ [and] he set her up as the organiser.”
Ryan said there was already a trust account set up to cover costs.

Ryan confirmed her death to the media after she died at a Los Angeles hospital last month.
“She was the greatest. She loved cats. She worked with cat rescues with us. She was very to herself,” Ryan told the BBC at the time.
“She was not very Hollywood. She’d rather eat at Bob’s Big Boy and go home with the cats. She loved acting but wasn’t into the fame scene.”
Chase started acting at 4 years old, getting her first role when she was 7, but she retired from working in the profession full time in 2015, Ryan said.

Chase gained widespread recognition voicing Lilo in the 2002 animated hit Lilo & Stitch, a role she later reprised in the franchise’s television spin-offs. Before that breakthrough, she voiced Chihiro in the English-language version of Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away.
