The details of Heath Ledger’s final Will and Testament were made public over the weekend. Since the will was filed in Australia in April of 2003 before he began his relationship with Michelle Williams, there is no mention of neither Michelle nor the couples daughter Matilda. In fact, all of the actors assets were left to his parents and sister.

 Heath’s family was quick to speak out over the weekend, assuring everyone that the family intends to provide for Matilda and Michelle.

“Matilda is our absolute priority and Michelle is an integral part of our family. They will be taken care of and that’s how Heath would want it to be. The story is getting taken out of context and media is speculating that this means Matilda and Michelle will not be taken care of. I want to make it very clear nothing could be farther from the truth.”

At the time of the filing of the will, Heath’s assets didn’t amount to much, but this was before his Oscar nominated performance in Brokeback Mountain.

 A series of documents filed in Manhattan Surrogate’s Court revealed that the actor had less than $145,000 in New York assets at the time, including a $25,000 Toyota Prius and $20,000 in furniture and fixtures.
