Aug. 20--Talks over Robin Williams' estate are at a stalemate, with his widow and adult children unable to reach an agreement, court records show.
Cody, Zelda and Zachary Williams assert in court documents that Susan Schneider Williams is trying to negotiate more money and is seeking a guaranteed income stream.
Under contention is the value of Williams' Tiburon, Calif., property, which he left to his wife after his death.
According to the documents, Schneider Williams says that trustees overseeing the estate have provided calculations for the value of the property and its associated expenses -- which she would be responsible for -- but have not explained how they came up with those numbers. She is asking the court to rule on the issue.
The Williams children say she is seeking more than what was discussed as part of the trustee agreement. In documents filed last week in San Francisco Superior Court, they said that Schneider Williams was "seeking to increase her share of the trust assets at the expense of the Williams children."
The late actor's widow and children have been meeting to try to resolve the estate's issues, but the talks have been unsuccessful, documents say. Schneider Williams has said that she hasn't received any income from a trust he created for her to pay for her cost of living, and that some personal items of sentimental value are under dispute.
But the Williams children say in the documents that the trustees already determined the personal property belongs to them. They say that Schneider Williams has "erroneously asserted to the media" and in documents that they are receiving a majority of assets in the estate.
"In fact, about half of the trust's net assets will be placed in Susan's trust for her benefit for her lifetime, while at her death, her two children and the three Williams children will share the remainder of those assets, if any, one-fifth each," they say in the documents.
At a hearing in June, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Andrew Cheng allowed both sides until July 29 to come to a resolution. But that date was extended to Aug. 28.
Williams committed suicide last year in his Tiburon home. His estate is estimated to be worth more than $100 million, said his widow's attorney, James Wagstaffe.
Attorneys for both sides could not be reached for comment.
