Heath Ledger’s Will Revealed
Posted March 8th, 2008
We were all shocked and sorrowed when Heath Ledger was found dead in his New York City apartment earlier this year. And we’ve just learned that prior to his role in Brokeback Mountain, the Aussie actor had drawn up a will.
The three-page document reportedly assigned everything he owned to go to his parents and sister, although it was written before his relationship/engagement to Michelle Williams, and hence before his daughter Matilda Rose was born.
Surprisingly, Ledger only had $145,000 in New York assets at the time, including a $25,000 Toyota Prius and $20,000 in “furniture and fixtures.”
The lion’s share of his assets existed in his native Australia, where he had trust funds and Australian properties. Not included in the document was his Brooklyn townhouse he once shared with Williams.
Given the amount of time and significant changes in Heath’s life between the time his will was written and his untimely death, there may be grounds for altering the actor’s last will and testament. We’ll keep you updated.
