The New York Times have reported that the court documents were filed in December and January in a bitter legal dispute over his estate. According to The Times, Schneider complained some property was 'unilaterally removed' items from the home. She is also said to have revealed that once she started legal proceedings, 'certain home-related services were canceled' including a newspaper delivery.
However, TMZ report that his children Zak, 31, Zelda, 25, and Cody Williams, 22, tell a different story and have accused Schneider of attempting to 'money grab' and ignore the 'plain language of his will and trust'.
Sources tell the site that his children believe Schneider is trying to 'redefine' aspects of the will to suit her, despite Williams being clear in his will that he left behind most of his property to his children. Some of the items left to the three children include his 1998 Oscar for the movie Good Will Hunting as well as other memorabilia from his films.
Williams was found dead in the $7 million home in Tiburon, Marin Country, that he shared with Schneider, aged 63 following his tragic suicide in August last year. After two failed marriages which reportedly cost him $30 million, Williams ensured that he and his third wife Schneider signed a prenup agreement, and is not certain if she will continue to reside in the home they shared together.
Sources tell TMZ that his children acknowledge Schneider has the right to keep items that she accumulated with Williams during their marriage, but believe she is trying to alter some of the terms listed in the will.
