Robin Williams’ Family Conflicts Over Actor's Estate

Robin Williams died in a tragic suicide in August last year and the Hollywood star's family is still in an inheritance battle over the late actor's assets. Susan Williams in particular has no clue what she is said to inherit from her husband.

A hearing is set next Monday June 8, 2015, and the judge expects that Robin's wife, Susan Williams, and Zachary, Zelda and Cody his three children from previous marriages woule need have resolved the family feud.

The property in San Francisco Bay area is the most financially important estate, as Robin left it to his wife Susan, and must be inclined to have the necessary means to maintain the house.

The property is expected for its second appraisal soon.

As of December last year, Susan filed a lawsuit against Robin's children that the award winning actor's personal possessions were taken away without her consent. Some of the belongings recorded in the court documents are clothing, personal photographs and other memorabilia.

James Wagstaffe, Susan Williams' lawyer, told the Los Angeles Times. "Susan Williams is asking to keep some items, such as his slippers and old T-shirts he often wore, because they remind her of him."

The attorney added: "It was an incredibly invasive process made exponentially more difficult by the fact that so many of the items taken were intimately connected with Susan's memories of her husband, who had only recently passed away."

Williams' children allegedly took their father's belongings assuming they are also entitled to have them.

However, one Robin's children Zelda wrote on her Tumblr account: "My brothers and I have not at any point since Dad's death been invited to or visited his and Susan's house in Tiburon, nor have we removed anything from it."

Meredith Bushnell, the children's lawyer, was reported to use delaying measures to counter the stepmother's lawsuit.

A resolution is expected to be achieved in the hearing on Monday in The San Francisco Superior Court with Judge Andrew Cheng presiding.
