Family row over Robin Williams’ estate

Robin Williams’ children and wife have gone to court in a bitter fight over the late comedian’s estate.

In papers filed in December in San Francisco Superior Court, Williams’ wife, Susan, said some of the late actor’s personal items were taken without her permission and asked the court to exclude the contents of the Tiburon home she shared with Williams from the jewellery, memorabilia, and other items Williams said the children should have.

Williams, the star of Mrs Doubtfire and Dead Poets Society, died at his Tiburon home in August. The coroner ruled his death a suicide that resulted from asphyxia caused by hanging.
