Details of Heath Ledger's will have been made public as reported by the New York Daily News. The will states that everything he owned goes to his parents, and three sisters. Ledger passed away on January 22 from an accidental overdose.
Heath had filed the three-page document back in the spring of 2003, two years before he met Michelle Williams, with whom he would eventually fall for and have a child with - Matilda Rose.
Documents reveal that the Brokeback Mountain star had less than $145,000 in New York assets at the time of his death. He had a $25,000 Toyota Prius and $20,000 in furniture and accessories. However, those amounts do not include the Brooklynn townhouse that he and Michelle shared, any cash in trust funds or any property he may have had in Australia.
An estate specialist said, "If [Ledger and Williams] had jointly held assets, those are not subject to probate. It's just not required."
Although there were no provisions for his ex fiance and his 2-year-old daughter Matilda, I'm quite certain that Heath's family will make sure they are taken care of.
