46. Why does his father/mother and sisters feel they deserve it? It shouldnt be a question. It should all be put in an accoun for his daughter and noone else.

48. What about the money that will surely come from the Joker movie being released this summer.

49. In case anyone is interested in knowing, this issue was discussed the other night on tv. According to the lawyers who were speaking, despite the fact that the will was drawn up before his daughter even existed, she will be considered the closest living relative. Because of that, she stands to inherit everything. Apparently under New York law (according to the lawyers), it doesn't matter if she wasn't named in the will and his family was. She will likely be named the sole heir to his estate.

50. If you do your research you will find that he did not demand high salaries. He was into the experience and stretch as a performer. The Joker was probably his first real money maker and it has not yet come to fruition.

54. Usually people with substantial assets have those assets held in trusts - upon their death, those trusts ARE NOT part of public record (probate). Only probate assets are listed in wills. Therefore, he could have had a substantial amount of cash setup in trusts. Hopefully his attorneys did this for him.

56. $100,000 in several bank accounts is NOT broke! Invested wisely, it'll only get better. Plus, he's got "Batman" profits coming to his Estate.

May God Bless Michele and Matilda and us all, everyone. xo
