Robin Williams' death brought his widow and three children into a dispute over the actor's estate. They have now reached a settlement after court documents were filed on Friday dismissing Susan Schneider Williams' previously filed petition. Both parties involved in the property dispute reached an agreement whose details have not been disclosed, said New York Times.
The settlement, filed in San Francisco Superior Court on October 2, dismissed a petition filed by the actor's widow, Susan Schneider Williams, in December 2014. It brought an end to a nearly year-long dispute over a list of over 1,200 items belonging to the late actor, reported Times of Malta. The "Jumanji" actor's wife had filed a lawsuit back in December claiming that she was not receiving enough maintenance from Susan's estate to maintain Tiburon, their California home that she shared with her husband prior to his death, said Yibada. The settlement is still subject to judge's approval.
Susan Williams released a statement through her lawyer James Wagstaffe at Kerr & Wagstaffe LLP stating that she felt as if Robin's voice was heard and she can finally grieve in the home that they shared together, said Latin Post.
Susan Williams now will not only keep her home that she shared with Robin Williams but also few emotional belongings that she claimed, such as the watch her husband wore quite often, some of his clothes, wedding possessions and the bike the couple purchased on their honeymoon. She will also receive lifelong living expenses till she is alive.
Attorney for William's children, Meredith Bushnell, stated that her clients were satisfied with what was left for them which included more than 85 watches and 50 bikes over and above the many Academy Award sculpture's received by the late thespian, reported NYSE Post.
