Late Heath Ledger's lawyer John LaViolette has sued the American ReliaStar Life Insurance company, as the firm has refused to pay out the 12.5 million dollar policy ledger took out seven months before his death. Ledger's daughter Matilda may become worlds wealthiest girl if the insurance company agrees to pay the money

William Shernoff, representing LaViolette, said the company was wrongfully prying into Ledger's life to stall paying up. "The money belongs to Matilda," the Daily Telegraph quoted Shernoff, as saying.

LaViolette would hold the money for Matilda until she turns 18. Neither Michelle nor Heath"s family is involved in the legal action

Heath Ledger was an Australian television and film actor. He suffered an accidental death at age 28. For his portrayal of Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain, Ledger won the 2005 New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actor. A few months before his death, Ledger had finished filming his widely-praised penultimate performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight.
