After months of closed-door court meetings -- all of Heath Ledger's estimated $20 mil estate will go to his 2-year old daughter Matilda Rose.
According to news reports, Heath's dad Kim Ledger says the will originally had all the assets divided up to his parents and sisters, but Heath's family thought the right thing to do was to give it all up -- for the benefit of Matilda.
Heath Ledger died of an accidental prescription pill overdose in January.
1. So nice that they came together and weren't greedy! They are obviously wonderful, caring people! Cheers to them!

3. Mark Twain said, Do the right thing and people will be amazed. Heath's family is amazing and unbelievably selfish.

4. That's beautiful. If protected and invested correctly, she will have a very nice nest egg when she turns 18.

9. I thought I heard a report also, that the various actors who finished up his role in the movie he was filming at the time of his death, were donating all their "pay" to Heaths daughter? Is this correct? Thought that was pretty cool also, if true.

15. Wow...that's impressive. Clearly his family is focused and know what's most important: caring for the fatherless child. GOOD people.
