IN THE MATTER OF THE ROBIN WILLIAMS TRUST (PTR-14-298367)
N/AOUTCOME: Settled in 2015.
"Robin Williams was an American actor and stand-up comedian. He won the 1989 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and he also received two Emmy Awards, six Golden Globe Awards, two Screen Actors Gui ... ld Awards and five Grammy Awards. He starred in critically acclaimed movies, such as "Good Will Hunting" and "Good Morning, Vietnam." The actor committed suicide on Aug. 11, 2014. Williams left behind an estate estimated somewhere between $50 and $100 million. The estate is divided among many asset classes, including real estate, art and investments. The estate is comprised of such physical assets as a Napa Valley mansion and home in Tiburon, California. ... Williams' widow, Susan Schneider, and his three adult children battled in court over the outcome of his estate until 2015. Schneider reported that she was not receiving enough money to maintain the home in Tiburon, California, where she lived with her two children and Williams before his death. On the other side, Williams' children from prior marriages claimed their stepmother was trying to adjust the terms of their dad's trust. The fight continued until Schneider finally agreed to remove her petition to keep most of her late husband's belongings. This allowed the estate to be split rather simply. Schneider was able to keep the possessions that held emotional value for her, such as wedding gifts, clothing, a watch and a bike. The actor's children then received almost everything else they requested, including more than 50 bikes, 85 watches and over 1,000 individual items, such as Williams' Academy Awards and the actor's clothing."
