What a lovely gesture.... I hope that Matilda grows up to appreciate what kind friends her father had. I think it is a totally wonderful gesture from the three guys.

Aww

That's really sweet.

God, I love Johnny.

am bumping this cos i think its such a good story!!

Oh wow, that is really lovely they would do that for her.

So who got the money in his will, surely they would provide for her - I remember reading how much he loved his daughter.

Love Johnny aparently last time he was in London he had disney fly over his pirates costume and he spent a couple of hours at great ormonds street.

in his will he left everything to his parents and siblings. News reports suggest that Michelle Williams may have to fight to get anything for Matilda. It seems hard to believe that Heath's family wouldn't provide for Matilda, however.

Wonderstuff - he also donated £1m to GOSH. His daughter was in there with something quite serious I think. He also invited all the staff who dealt with his little girl to the last Pirates premiere.

I read this in the paper the other day and got a little choked up!
My mum said something on the lines that it was a shame his parents hadn't done something about providing for the DD, but I'm sure there was a press statement when they said they would take care of Matilda as the will was old.

What a nice thing for them to do, I'm always a little choked when I read about celebs giving money away for one reason or another.

Note to self - update will asap!

thats sweet

That's really nice of them - nice to see they aren't squandering their riches

that's lovely

MrsFogi - after my Gran died (with a will that turned out to be void) when my parents made sure my Granddad's will was in order they had it worded so that any grandchildren etc that were born after the will had been made were also included (which was just as well as my DS3 arrived after the will had been made up - but by then he was too ill to make a new one(

Oh it just makes all 3 of them all the more edible.

there are not many in La la land that would be so generous.

am surprised his parents/siblings wouldn't provide for their own granddaughter/niece

surely a child becomes the heir?
Is her relative the trustee perhaps? Pretty sure the money is not like in his cheque account. Usually locked away .. Seems madness that they cannot properly secure his daughters future.
That said michelle Williams seems like a very sensible girl and I reckon she's strong enough to provide on her own.
But it sucks. So lovely that these 3 guys have done that.
Such a johnny depp thing to do as well!
No dis to colin and jude though
