Heath Ledger’s daughter will inherit his entire estate

Actor Heath Ledger’s estate is worth $20 million and his daughter Matilda Rose will get everything.

Ledger died in January from an accidental overdose. In the will, it stated that he wanted his fortune divided among his siblings and parents.

However, the will wasn’t updated because it was made in 2003, which was two years before his daughter Matilda was born.

So, Heath’s family agreed to just give all of the estate to Matilda.

This is so rare when it comes to Hollywood wills. Most of the time, families will spend several years fighting over money.

I’m glad the Ledger family decided to allow Matilda to inherit the estate rather than fighting over the money in court like many Hollywood families do. This speaks volumes about their character.
