Heath Ledger’s Daughter Matilda To Get His Entire Estate
The estate of actor Heath Ledger has been tied up for some time now, with legalities and family squabbles and such, but it seems a decision has finally been reached. Heath’s family have decided to donate the whole estate to his daughter Matilda:
Two years before his little girl was born, the Dark Knight star – who died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs in January – signed a will leaving his fortune to his parents and sisters.
But Ledger’s father, Kim, says they have decided that all the money should all go to 2-year-old Matilda (the actor’s daughter with ex-girlfriend Michelle Williams).
In fact, he tells PEOPLE, that was the plan “from the moment my boy passed away.”
It’s been a while now since the family promised that Matilda would be taken care of, and it was thought that perhaps she wouldn’t receive her fair share, especially with the familial infighting that was going on between Heath’s father and his brother. However, it seems good has won, and while his millions will never bring this little girl’s daddy back, perhaps it will at least secure her future so her mom wouldn’t have to worry about it. He and Matilda’s mother, actress Michelle Williams, remained close even after they separated, by all accounts he doted on his daughter, and I think it was what Heath would have wanted.
