Heath Ledger's Will Left Nothing To His Daughter

Heath Ledger HLEDGERVEN012208_will.jpg

Heath Ledger's will was drawn up before his relationship with Michelle Williams and the birth of their daughter Matilda, reports People.com.

The Oscar-nominated actor wrote up the document in April 2003 in Australia, where most of Ledger's estate will be handled.

Heath, who died of an accidental prescription medication overdose at 28 years-old earlier this year, left everything to his parents and sister.



It is still unclear whether Williams or Heather's daughter Matilda will somehow be included in the division of assets.

OLD NEWS! He obviously made this will before he was with Michelle and had Matilda. His dad already said that both Michelle and Matilda will not be left out of anything! Get a clue...

They'll figure something out.



Posted by: Sensationalist journalism at it's worst!

It's surprising that he had a will at all. How many 28 year olds do you know have a will? I don't know any--my mother doesn't even have a will and she's way older!

His daughter will have everything she needs. You don't need a silver spoon to succeed in life.

IF THEY LOVE AND RESPECT THEIR SON, THEY WILL DO WHAT IS RIGHT

What would 150k mean to this kid? I'm sure Michelle is more careful of her money than Heath was. What happened to all his earnings???

I'm sure they will put it away for his daughter. They are loving grandparents.

They should put it in a trust for her that noone can touch until she is 18 or 21 or something like that.

selfish bastard first by abandoning the baby emotionally then financially.



Posted by: anonymous

Wait...he didn't abandon the baby...Heath's family, his dad I think has made a statement that little Matilda will be taken care of as will Michelle...the Will was made out in 2003.

L E T H E A T H R E S T I N P E A C E , OK?
and that's right anonynomous 5:13 PM, it was made BEFORE he met michelle and had a baby.

blackwater mercinarys FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Posted by: Godspeed Heath

Last to report as usual. Yes, his parents said that Matilda will be taken care of and that Michelle was a big part of their lives. He had very little for a star of his magnitude. They don't now if he has real estate or anything. He lived meagerly and did movies that he wanted to do not any old movie for money.

Odd that he had a will at age 23 though...

I had a will at age 18 idiot

You expect this selfish addict, truely not a man but a whimp,... to have his affairs in order, concerns over loving family and friends in check, when the main thought in his mind is when is the next hit and how much can I consume of anything to go into that catatonic state of heathen bliss without getting caught or overdosing? Not that his pleasurable high parties could be planned safely or kept secret as you get too high and you get more careless. Godless and fearless he was really Kurt Cobain with money, power and fame looking for a way out to oblivion, and Kurt had money, love, a sucessful career, daughter and wife, but that dead weight in his careless life was a bit too much demanding reality.

Hope he reasts in peace. I saw Michelle millionaire&celeb dating site "WealthyRomance.com" last week. It seems Heath's ex-wife can't wait to meet new ,ove now.

that will has no real significance it was a bit careless yes but I guess when he became a dad he stopped thinking about death he wanted to live and work for his daughter
the little girl will be well taken care of Heath was a good father and his parents and sister they seem like decent people

Posted by: Michell W. has mo' money then all of us

Michelle Williams makes more money for filming one movie then 99% of the USA makes in 2 or 3 years.

She has more money in the bank then 99% of americans.

Michelle Williams still has a solid well-paid acting career.

She is not a gold-tooth welfare mama.

michelle is a very smart girl. she's not only a well paid actress, she knows the future's trade market- both her and her dad are ranked like top 5. she probably isn't hurting for money. but it would be immoral if heath's parents didn't leave a huge chunk of the estate for matilda. after all, she should be the sole heir to heath's estate, since she is his daughter.

Why are we surprised?

He was too busy drugging and whoring around with Mary Kate Olsen to think of his child.

If all the man had in assets was a measly $150,000 you can bet all of his money went to drugs.

Michelle is NOT Heath's ex-wife. They were never married. Heath chose to knock her up out of wedlock. Matilda is a bastard. Michelle has enough money - she can get some other pimp to support Matilda and herself.

In his short life, he sure spent alot of time on drugs and women. What a waste!

If Heath could have kept his pants up, he wouldn't be lying 12 feet under.

Michelle dumped Heath's ass because he was a junkie.



Posted by: Anonymous

Michelle makes even more money whoring than she does for making movies.

All of these comments are actually embarassing. None of you knew for true facts that heath was a drug addict, why the will wasn't updated or anything else about his life or relationship. Way to bash someone who's passed away. Real nice.

anonymous 5:07 PM, i totally agree with you.
you people are so cruel!!!, leave the guy rest in peace.

hea



Posted by: Stacy

She will get a large monthly Social Security Survivors benefit for Matilda, that is paid without regard to income and in proportion to Heath's reported income. She can use that to support Matilda.

I think the grandparents should open a trust account for her that won't be paid until she is 21 or 25.

Anna Nicole left nothing to Dannilyn because her will was not up to date.
where there is a will, there is a way.



Posted by: susie

maybe everyone writing rude comments toward him should read the article more carefully. it stated that when heath wrote the will he had 145,000-that is irrelevant to when he died and had more money. if you dont know that he spent money on drugs..dont write it



Posted by: Anna K

it was noted that in 2003, about 3 years after his first movie in the U.S... that he had 145 grand in assets.. then they went on to say that he had trust funds and properties, not to mention his salaries for the last 10 movies he made since then and all his investments etc.. he was worth a hell of a lot more then that boy that came to the States in '99 to shoot his first flick.. and I am married with 4 children.. in my 30's and I don't have a will.. so that means shit.. he obviously trusted his parents to do the right thing in case of his passing..



Posted by: Heath's Girl

oh my god, why is everyone bashing on the poor guy, well he was a drug addict, so what?? its not like all of you guys are perfect, he had that flaw, so what! oh my god, you guys are really rude.
