The legacy of Ed Boesen is being measured in businesses that ranged from beer on a stick to bridal gowns.

Some have no value, others are struggling to survive and some may have been funded with loans that were obtained through the use of a phony investment account, according to lawsuits and other court proceedings that have followed Boesen’s death in July from an intentional overdose of over-the-counter drugs.

An inventory of 48 companies that Boesen formed or in which he claimed an equity stake found that 28 had no value at the time of his death, according to an inventory filed in Polk County Probate Court.
