Ledger's Estate Goes to Daughter

Share

(Newser) – Heath Ledger’s estate will go to his daughter, Matilda, the late actor's dad tells Perth Now. “There is no claim,'' Kim Ledger said of the estimated $16.6 million bequest. “Our family has gifted everything to Matilda.'' Ledger’s will, written before his daughter’s birth in 2005, left everything to his sisters and parents.
