Heath Ledger's father has assured that Michelle Williams and Matilda "will be taken care of" following news that his actor son left everything to his parents and sisters in an outdated will.
"Matilda is an absolute priority and Michelle is an integral part of our family," Kim Ledger said in a statement. "They will be taken care of and that's how Heath would want it to be.
Heath filed a three page will in his native Australia in 2003 — before he was Oscar nominated for Brokeback Mountain, and became engaged to Williams and had Matilda, 2.
New documents filed in Manhattan's Surrogate Court, as reported by the New York Daily News, show the actor had less than $145,000 in assets when he died January 22. These include $100,000 spread across several bank accounts, a $25,000 hybrid Toyota Prius and $20,000 in furniture and fixtures.
The worth of the Brooklyn townhouse he once shared with Williams, trust funds and Australian residences is unknown.
The Daily News says the bulk of Ledger's estate will be handled in Australia.
