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.
46. Bravo to that family! That was a very classy thing to do. And yes, it was definately the right thing.

48. hey Whip #44,
Are you blind as a bat? You don't need to have DNA to prove that Matilda is Heath's daughter. She looks exactly like Heath Ledger. Heath's family did the right thing and gave all the monies to Matilda.

49. Whip, you're kidding right? How in the world can ANYONE deny that that little girl is anyone BUT Heath's daughter? She is the SPITTING IMAGE of him!! There's no way ANYONE can say that she is NOT Heath's child.

53. Wow, people actually making a difficult decision in the interest of someone other than themselves! What a novel idea! The Larry Birkheads of this world could take their lead from such people. They are truly a caring family.

54. #52, not sure what you mean when you say that the "Larry Birkheads of the world" could be more selfless, like the Ledgers? Should Larry have just given his own daughter up to Howard Stern without a fight? Do you seriously believe Larry doesn't love his daughter, and just wanted whatever money came with her? Anyway, it's apples & oranges--one case involves giving up money, and the other, your flesh-and-blood child--can't quite see your point.

55. What a selfless thing to do on behalf of the offspring of their son! Her mother will keep her grounded and, hopefully, she will meet a wonderful man who embraces and desires to be a father figure on her behalf.

59. They needed to do what Heath would have wanted....and they did. Don't know why it took so long for them to decide this, but I'm happy for his daughter. My guess is though that they're in charge of investing it, etc. until she turns 18 or 21. I think Michelle should oversee it. His family will probably charge fees for their services, and that will be sad.

60. Wow. Couldn't be me. And I wouldn't necessarily say it was the RIGHT THING TO DO, because if they had kept some for themselves, I wouldn't see that as being the WRONG THING TO DO. They're his family for Christ Sake and if they were in the will, they would have been completely in the right if they kept a PORTION of it for themselves and gave the rest to either Matilda or Michelle Williams. Would have been nothing wrong with that. The Family just went above and beyond what they had to do and of course it's okay to praise them for that, but don't act as if it would have been wrong for them to keep some of it.
Michelle seems to be doing pretty good for herself so Matilda would have still been very well taken care of.
