Actor Robin Williams may be resting in peace, but disputes over the assets and properties he left continue between his children and his widowed second wife.
Williams' three children from his first wife namely Cody, Zelda, and Zachary are claiming that Susan Schneider Williams is seeking more money than what is due her in their father's last will and testament.

Under William's will, Schneider will take possession of their luxury Tiburon mansion which they shared before the actor died. However, Schneider is not convinced the three children are providing her enough funds to maintain recurring expenses the property may require in the long run. Thus, she filed a court petition to rule on the matter.
But Williams' adult children are not buying her claims.
In a report by Los Angeles Times, the Williams kids assert that Schneider is trying to secure more money than what was earlier agreed. In court papers they filed to counter her petition, they noted that their stepmom was now "seeking to increase her share of the trust assets at the expense of the Williams children."
The court papers added that Williams' second wife wants to secure a "guaranteed income stream" more than what is realistically necessary for the property's maintenance.
Division of the comedian's memorabilia, jewelry, and other personal items has also been in contention since his death, according to a report by USA Today.
Schneider also filed a petition asking the court to award her the contents of the home she shared with the actor despite his last will stating that his children will get his personal items. Cody, Zelda, and Zachary strongly opposed the petition saying earlier agreements on the division of these articles are final, the report added.
The three siblings accused Williams' second wife of claiming property that does not belong to her.
Williams' body was found lifeless inside their home last year after the actor committed suicide. A judge has given both camps until Aug. 28 to resolve their issues.
