Attorneys for the comic great's children Zachary, Zelda and
Cody, in papers filed on Friday in San Francisco Superior Court,
said his widow, Susan Schneider Williams, was trying to unjustly
increase a reserve fund dedicated to all recurring costs
associated with the home where she had lived with Williams.
That luxury home in Tiburon, outside of San Francisco where
police say Williams committed suicide in August 2014, is to
belong to Susan Williams for life under the terms of the actor's
will, trustees in the case have said in court papers.
Susan Williams married Williams in 2011 and is not the mother of
his three adult children.
Attorneys for the children contend Susan Williams is seeking,
through her court petition, to obtain a "guaranteed income
stream" above and beyond what is needed for the home, according
to court papers.
"Petitioner is not permitted to do so under the trust agreement
or through her petition," the attorneys wrote.
A judge has given both sides until Aug. 21 to reach an agreement
in their dispute over the disposition of the actor's assets, and
the two sides are scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 28.
An attorney for Susan Williams did not return a call seeking
comment.
