Robin Williams' family feuding over his estate

Robin Williams' widow, Susan Schneider Williams, is engaged in a feud with the three children from Robin's two previous marriages.



Susan submitted her papers in December while Robin's three kids submitted their papers in January. Some of the items they are battling for include clothing, photos, bikes, action figures, and the late actor's awards.



While Williams left his estate to his two sons and daughter in a trust, the documents also included a call to create provisions to benefit Susan, who is the mother of two sons of her own. One such provision was the couple's California home. Susan claims that items were "unilaterally removed" from her house and that certain services, such as newspaper delivery, were cancelled within days of Robin's death.



Meanwhile, Zak, Zelda, and Cody, say they are "heartbroken" and have strong issues with Susan's filing, saying it "adds insult to terrible injury" and that she "acted against [their father's] wishes by challenging the plans he so carefully made for his estate." They also add that she was only married to Robin for "less than three years."



The comedian's Oscar, six Golden Globes, five Grammys, and two Emmys are some of the most fiercely debated items. Susan states she is not looking for objects associated with his career, and that she is instead interested in personal items such as the tux he wore to their wedding. She also states that the children gave her three days' notice after her husband's death before they would go to her home and take what was promised to them. She became uncomfortable and blocked them from doing this, which angered them since they knew she had appraisers in the home putting value on items they claim belong to them.
