Michelle Williams' Family Squabble With Ledgers Over Heath's Will

Posted by HerBadMother


It was bound to get ugly eventually, wasn't it? It always does. I mean, did anyone really believe that it was going to be enough for Heath's family to just say that 'Michelle and Matilda will be taken care of' and then march away with his entire estate?

Michelle's dad sure didn't. He's accusing the Ledger family - Ledger's dad, Kim, specifically - with concealing the extent of Heath's assets.

According to TMZ:

Michelle Williams' dad has leveled an extraordinary challenge at Kim Ledger, Heath's dad, demanding that he account for all of the late actor's assets.

Larry Williams, a famed futures trader, tells Australia's Sunday Telegraph that he thinks Kim and family "certainly haven't stated all of the assets" belonging to Heath when he died in January. Larry is "perplexed" that docs filed in a New York court said that Heath had only $145,000 in assets when he died.

"It's real simple," said Larry. "Just come clean with everything. He just has to say where the income went and where the assets were."

Which, yuck. On all counts. Yuck for the Ledgers to be at all non-disclosey about Heath's estate, when the future of his daughter is at stake. And yuck for the Williams to be publicly calling them on this. NOT going to be good for the mood at future family barbeques.

here we go said:

You'd think his family would immediately set it up some sort of trust so that his daughter is the beneficiary of his estate. Perhaps they have, but it doesn't sound like it. It would make me nervous to think of my ex's family having unfettered access to my daughter's inheritance, doling it out as they saw fit.

It's a tragedy, but that little girl is his rightful heir and she's entitled to whatever assets he left.
