The widow and three adult children of actor Robin Williams are still at odds over the ownership of some of his personal belongings and the money needed to maintain his widow’s home.
But, with the help of a mediator, they have resolved issues concerning a number of other items, so a San Francisco Superior Court judge has given them more time to try to conclude the estate case without the court having to rule on the dispute, reports the Associated Press and the Los Angeles Times (sub. req.).
Attorney James Wagstaffe, who represents Williams’ widow, Susan Schneider Williams, says she is to get a “small bucket of water from a lake,” compared to the $100 million Williams left his children and a former wife.
The children say they are merely seeking what is theirs and accuse the widow of delaying tactics.
The beloved actor and comedian commited suicide last year.
