A battle for the estate of Larry King is getting messier. Shawn King, the broadcaster’s widow, is suing her former business managers, accusing them of stealing money and conspiring to help King’s son Larry King Jr. usurp her as executor of the estate.
King died in January 2021 after being hospitalized for Covid-19. A month later, Larry King Jr. moved to become special administrator of the estate. He pointed to a handwritten amendment by King leaving his assets to his five children. Shawn King challenged the will, arguing it was changed under questionable circumstances. The matter was resolved through a confidential settlement.
In a lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Shawn King alleges Blouin & Company colluded with Larry King Jr. to divest her from the estate in addition to illegally transferring millions of dollars to numerous people and entities without her permission.

Larry King’s widow has gone to court to challenge a handwritten will which purports to divide the talk show host’s estate among his children.
Shawn Southwick King argues that her husband had “questionable mental capacity” at the time the will was signed, just two months after he filed for divorce. According to her lawyers, King had just suffered a stroke and was susceptible to “outside influences.”
King died on Jan. 23 at the age of 87. He was survived by Shawn and their two children, Cannon and Chance, as well as by Larry King Jr., a son from a previous relationship. At the time of his death, the divorce had not been finalized.
In a petition filed on Feb. 10, Larry Jr., submitted the handwritten will, dated Oct. 17, 2019, which states that King wanted “100% of my funds to be divided equally among my children.”
