Daveigh Chase\u2019s father is asking to oversee her estate, following her mother\u2019s earlier request<\/a> to be the administrator of the late actress\u2019 property.<\/p>\n

The former child star died last month<\/a> at just 35 years old. Her mom, Cathy Chase, said Daveigh left behind $400,000 in personal property and asked the court to appoint her as the administrator, according to court docs obtained by Page Six earlier this month.<\/p>\n

She claimed in the docs that Daveigh\u2019s dad, John Schwallier, \u201cresides in the Philippines with an unknown address\u201d but also \u201ckeeps properties\u201d in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Schwallier filed court docs last Thursday asking the court to appoint licensed professional fiduciary and paralegal Megan Boling as the administrator of the estate. Obtained by CA Post<\/p>\n

But in a court filing last Thursday, Schwallier asked the court to allow him to oversee his late daughter\u2019s estate, appointing a licensed professional fiduciary and paralegal as an administrator to act on his behalf.<\/p>\n

He declined to take on the role himself. \u201cSubject to the appointment of Megan Boling as Administrator and her continued willingness to serve, I decline to serve,\u201d the court docs obtained by Page Six read.<\/p>\n

According to the filing, Daveigh died without a will and and the time of her death was \u201cunhoused in LA.\u201d<\/p>\n

A hearing is scheduled for Aug. 26 in Los Angeles County Superior Court.<\/p>\n

Daveigh\u2019s former manager for more than a decade, John Ryan, told The Post that she had \u201cmillions\u201d in unclaimed residual checks <\/a>at the time of her death.<\/p>\n

Ryan said the late actress \u2014 who struggled with addiction issues \u2014 was \u201ctoo far gone\u201d\u00a0to claim the checks.<\/p>\n

In a disturbing clip\u00a0obtained exclusively by The Post last month, Daveigh can be seen looking extremely skinny and barely conscious on the floor of a tent or trailer in LA\u2019s notorious skid row.<\/p>\n

Ryan told the outlet that he and her stepsister Gaia Brown had enlisted the help of a private investigator in 2025 to track her down and get her some help, but after he was able to speak to Daveigh on the phone, she \u201cdisappeared\u201d again.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were so close to finding her,\u201d he told The Post. \u201cDaveigh was the sweetest and brightest light in Hollywood. I can\u2019t believe this is real.\u00a0Her legacy and work will live on forever<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
