Although Heath Ledger left a legally binding will, his family are contesting it. Never heard of uncles having a say in a will, but there it is!
Its been less than two months since Heath Ledger met his untimely demise after an accidental over dose at his apartment in Greenwich Village, New York and already the vultures are circling around his bank accounts.
‘Dressed up’ as their concern that Heath’s fortune is used to provide for his daughter, Matilda’s future, the Brokeback Mountain star’s family are going public about his father, Kim’s, inability to manage the will.
Ledger’s will had not been updated since he met Michelle Williams with whom he had the child Matilda, making his last will the final statement of where he wanted his estate to go upon his death.
It would appear that Heath left everything to his parents but his uncles feel that his father is not equipped to manage the dosh based on his handling of his own father’s will.
They say he doesn’t have the best track record. He’s so bad at managing money that he was removed as executor of his grandfather’s estate 15 years ago.
Well, maybe during that period of 15 years he has matured enough to handle his son’s will and clearly Heath himself had no dilemma about appointing his father executor to his will.
The uncles have stressed they are not trying to exclude Kim from the will for personal gain (really?) but they feel the need to protect Matilda’s interest in the matter.
Well, uncles, looking at it objectively its not all that likely that little Matilda will ever be struggling for the odd million dollars or so as she still has a successful Hollywood actress for a mother and will always be the daughter of a much loved, talented and missed movie star.
