The widow and children of late Oscar-winning actor
Robin Williams, who committed suicide last year, have reached a proposed
settlement after a bitter dispute over his estate, according to court
papers.
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 and brings an end to a nearly
year-long dispute over a list of over 1,200 items belonging to the late
actor.The details of the proposed settlement, contingent on court approval, were not disclosed.
Ms Williams, who was the late actor's third wife and not the mother of his three adult children Zelda, Zachary and Cody Williams, had said in the petition that some property was removed without her permission after the actor's death from the house she had shared with her husband.
In August, attorneys for the three children filed papers in court saying Ms Williams was trying to unjustly increase a reserve fund dedicated to all recurring costs associated with the luxury Tiburon, California home.
Representatives for Ms Williams and for Zelda, Zachary and Cody Williams did not respond to requests for comment.
Williams, star of films such as Good Morning Vietnam and Mrs Doubtfire, died aged 63 at his home in August 2014.
His widow said he was suffering from the early stages of Parkinson's disease along with severe depression.
