Heath Ledger’s family are reportedly at war over the handling of the late actor’s assets.

His uncles doubt that his father, Kim, is a capable executor after, they say, he bungled the management of their grandfather's estate 15 years ago.

"It plunged into enormous debt," Uncle Mike tells People.

Heath's will - written before his relationship with Michelle Williams - leaves everything to his parents and sisters.

However, some family members aren't convinced by Kim's insistance that the actor's two-year-daughter, Matilda, "will be taken care of." 

Uncle Mike adds: "When you are talking about large sums of money like this, it should be an independent executor, but Kim hasn't chosen that way."
