Robin Williams Death: Children and Wife Argue Over Who Should Get His Belongings
Robin Williams' wife and children are disputing who should get the late comedian's personal belongings. Now, the lawyers of his wife and children will take the issue to court, The Associated Press reports.
The lawyers will appear before a San Francisco probate judge Monday to discuss who should get the clothing and personal belongings left behind by Robin Williams at one of his Northern California homes.
Williams' wife, Susan, said in papers that were filed in December that some of the comedian's personal items were taken without her permission.
Susan asked the court to exclude the contents of a San Francisco Bay Area home she shared with Robin Williams from the list of items that the children should have.
Williams' children are arguing that Susan is trying to change the trust agreement and prevent them from getting their father's belongings, including jewelery and memorabilia.
Susan's attorney said she was not trying to prevent them from getting some of his belongings. The attorney says that Susan was seeking guidance from the court about the meaning of certain terms in the trust.
Robin Williams died in his Tiburon home, north of San Francisco, in August. The coroner ruled his death a suicide by hanging.
Susan has said he struggled with depression, anxiety and recently found out he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. According to court documents, Williams' trust promised his children his memorabilia, the awards he won and other items.
Susan says that since Williams wanted her to continue living with him in the Tiburon home, only specific items kept at a house in Napa were to be given to the children.
The children and Susan are also in dispute over other items kept in storage, some of Williams' watches and other items.
What do you think about the battle over Robin Williams' personal items? Should the children get more or should his wife Susan get a majority of his things? Leave us your answer below.
