Robin William’s Widow Defies Trustee, Keeps Memorabilia

Robin WilliamsThe ongoing feud between the children of Robin Williams and his widow continues after allegations that his widow is holding memorabilia “hostage.” Trustees recently finished an inventory of the estate and declared the memorabilia to belong the children. However, his widow seeks a court interpretation of the trust as she seeks to retain the disputed items in addition to the house and lifetime support she received. The two sides have fought over the items since the actor’s death and this dispute, unfortunately, looks to continue for the foreseeable future.
