Full estate to go to Heath Ledger's daughter

Matilda Rose, Heath Ledger's two-year-old daughter, will inherit the late actor's entire estate.

Heath Ledger's two-year-old daughter Matilda Rose will inherit the late Australian actor's entire estate, estimated to be worth £10m, Perth's Sunday Times reports. The late actor's only will was made in 2003, before Matilda's birth, and has been probated behind closed doors at the Supreme Court in Perth. It had been rumoured that Matilda's mother, Brokeback Mountain actress Michelle Williams was worried her daughter wouldn't receive anything from the will and was preparing to lodge an appeal against the court's ruling. But Ledger's father Kim has put an end to such speculation, revealing that Matilda will inherit the lot. "There is no claim. Our family has gifted everything to Matilda," he told the paper.
