Spat over Ledger's will
A spat has erupted between Heath Ledger's father and uncles over the contents of his will, with the star's former partner, Michelle Williams, warned their daughter may be cut out of his fortune.
Ledger's uncles, Mike and Haydn, have warned Ms Williams and her father, Larry, not to trust the actor's father, Kim, accusing him of mismanaging their grandfather's estate.
They are worried Ledger's daughter, Matilda Rose, may not receive a cut of the dead actor's estimated $20-million fortune, News Limited newspapers say.
A three-page will lodged with a Manhattan court was written three years before Matilda was born, they reported.
"I'm concerned for Matilda. I have concerns about the distribution of funds," Hadyn Ledger said.
"We spoke to Larry about Kim and his ability to manage Matilda`s assets," Mike Ledger said.
"Our concern is that it doesn`t happen to another family."
Heath Ledger died in January from an apparent drug overdose in his New York apartment.
