Robin Williams reportedly didn't leave a note before taking his own life, but the actor did have his finances in order."
According to trust documents obtained by TMZ, Robin's kids will receive one third of their share at the age of 21, 50% at 25, and the full amount at the age of 30 and is independent of the actor's death: "Robin had a significant amount of money outside the trust and his current wife, Susan Schneider , will almost certainly receive a significant amount."
In 2013, films starring Williams grossed a whopping $5.1 billion in theaters around the world. At the time, Williams was quoted as saying by Parade magazine, ""Divorce is expensive," adding, "I used to joke they were going to call it 'all the money,' but they changed it to 'alimony.' It's ripping your heart out through your wallet."

Williams also told Parade, that he would sell his $35 million home, to cover his debt. He also sold his Napa valley ranch after he said he could not afford it.

The real blow to his finances came when a sitcom 'The Crazy Ones' was cancelled after a season in May. A source close to the story said, Williams was in this 60s and he had to take a TV stint to cover expenses. That was different from what he imagined he would be doing at this stage in his life. Reports say that the cancellation of 'The Crazy Ones' had an impact on Williams and could have been a catalyst for his suicide.
