According to the coroner's office, White took her own life by overdosing on a lethal amount of prescription drugs including Ambien, Propranolol and Percocet.
The suit alleges that three pill bottles found near the body of the Irish-born makeup artist bore the name "Arthur King."
Carrey allegedly obtained the drugs from a physician who routinely prescribed them to the actor under the false name.
The suit claims that the Canadian-born comedian tried to cover up his tracks by sending a "bogus text message" to White on September 27, when she was already dead, enquiring as to the whereabouts of the drugs.
Burton also claims the actor engaged in a "charade" after White's death, reneging on his offer to pay for funeral expenses.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages as well as reimbursement for funeral expenses and attorney fees.
Carrey served as a pallbearer at White's burial in her hometown in Ireland and wrote a tribute after her death describing her as a "truly kind and delicate Irish flower."
