Heath Ledger’s Daughter Gets Estate, Not Insurance
Heath Ledgers’s daughter has been awarded his $16 million estate. Heath’s most recent will, drafted in 2003, left everything to his parents and sister Kim. Kim said the family made no claim on the estate. “There is no claim. Our family has gifted everything to Matilda,” Kim Ledger said.
What is in dispute is Heath’s $10 million insurance policy. ReliaStar Life Insurance wrote a $10 million dollar policy on the late actor’s life seven months before he died. The money was to be held in trust for Matilda in the event of her father’s death. ReliaStar refuses to pay on the grounds that Heath’s death was suspicious. Matilda’s legal team is already contesting non-payment.
