Robin Williams Leaves Behind $50 Million Estate

The late Robin Williams left behind an estate valued at $50 million to his three children, with his wife Susan Schneider cared for under the terms of a prenuptial agreement. 

According to Williams’ legal documents, a financial trust was established for his children.  The full extent of that trust’s disbursement was planned to occur in stages, where his children are to receive the trust property at ages 21, 25 and 30.  His son Zak was also “entitled to distributions of principal in such amounts as the Trustees consider necessary for support, education, and medical care.”

In the remaining months before his death, Williams had put his Napa Valley estate up for sale.  In 2012 he attempted to sell the home for $35 million but was unsuccessful.  In April this year he re-listed the home for a reduced rate.  It is unknown whether Susan will stay at the house under the terms of the prenup or whether she will receive the proceeds of the property if it sold as the will states, “I intend by this will to dispose of all property wherever situated that I am entitled to dispose of by will.”
