In the latest court filing in the ongoing battle over Robin Williams' estate, the late actor's children say his wife is trying to increase her share of his estate at their expense.
Zachary, Zelda and Cody Williams are asking a judge to dismiss a petition filed by Susan Williams.
The December 2014 petition asked the court to exclude the contents of
the Tiburon home that she shared with Williams from the jewelry,
memorabilia and other items Williams said the children should have.
The children in their Aug. 14 filing say the estate's trustees have
determined the division of all of Williams' personal property, and those
decisions are final. They accuse Susan Williams of holding on to
property that is theirs.
They also say the trustees have arrived at a figure for a reserve fund
for Susan Williams to cover the costs of the Tiburon home, but she wants
a guaranteed income stream that she is not entitled to.
"Petitioner is seeking to increase her share of the trust assets at the
expense of the Williams children," despite the trust's clear language,"
the children say in their filing. "She cannot do so."
A call to Susan Williams' attorney was not immediately returned. The two sides are set to appear in court Aug. 28.
In court papers filed last month, Susan Williams said the trustees
refused to explain how they calculated the amounts for her reserve fund,
which were different from figures she arrived at. The trustees also
don't have absolute discretion over her reserve fund, so the court has a
role to play in deciding matters, she said.

Robin Williams' Kids Ask Judge to Toss Wife's Estate Claims
I hate to see this. The kids have a right to whatever Robin Williams left them. And there's plenty of money so it's very disrespectful for his wife to do this.
