Robin Williams's wife and adult children to resolve dispute out of court
Lawyers for the two sides agreed to meet informally before April 10 on the matter
Attorneys for the wife and adult children of Robin Williams have agreed to try to resolve their dispute out of court involving personal items of the late actor.
Attorneys in the case agreed Monday in San Francisco Superior Court to meet informally before April 10 on the matter.
Attorney Jim Wagstaffe told the court that Williams' wife, Susan Williams, would like to keep her wedding presents, the tuxedo Williams wore at their wedding, and photographs from his 60th birthday.
Attorney Meredith Bushnell, who is representing the children from previous marriages, said the dispute has been excruciating for them, and they would like to resolve it as soon as possible.
Robin Williams died at his home in Tiburon, north of San Francisco, in August. The coroner ruled his death a suicide that resulted from asphyxia caused by hanging.
The actor's wife has said he struggled with depression, anxiety and a recent diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
Williams's trust granted his children his memorabilia and awards in the entertainment industry among other particular personal items, according to court documents.
Susan Williams says that because he wanted her to continue to live at the Tiburon home, it makes sense that he intended for his children only to have the specific personal items kept at another home he owned in Napa.
The two sides also disagree over items put in storage, watches Williams owned and his memorabilia.
