Heath Ledger’s Uncles Say Deceased Actor’s Father is a Poor Manager of the Estate’s Assets

The following is from Ledger Family Feuding Over Heath’s Estate, omg.yahoo.com, March 19, 2008:

Heath Ledger’s family is embroiled in the midst of a battle for control of the late actor’s estate.

The actor’s uncles are speaking out against Heath’s father, Kim Ledger’s, management of Heath’s assets, according to People.***

Heath’s uncles claim Kim’s past estate management has been less than stellar, telling the magazine Kim was removed as the executor of their grandfather’s estate 15 years ago.***

Heath’s will, which was drafted before he met Michelle Williams and the birth of his daughter, Matilda, left his belongings to his parents and siblings.***

“When you are talking about large sums of money like this, it should be an independent executor, but Kim hasn’t chosen that way,” Mike Ledger added.***
