According to TMZ, Schneider, whom Williams married in 2011, has filed court documents claiming items belonging to the late actor were stolen from their home days following his August 2014 death. 

However, Zak, Williams’ 31-year-old son with his first wife Valerie Velardi, and Zelda, 25, and Cody, 23, Williams’ kids with ex-wife Marsha Garces Williams, claim that Schneider is trying to “redefine” his will to “benefit her.”

According to TMZ, the Mrs. Doubtfire actor’s kids claim that Schneider refused to let them in the house after his death and that she is trying to keep items left to the kids, including jewelry and his watch collection. In Williams’ will, he reportedly left all his movie memorabilia, action figures, graphic novels, theater masks, and other items to his children. 

Schneider allegedly wants items relating to their relationship, including his wedding tux and other “knickknacks.”

In William’s kids’ filings, the New York Times reports they state they are “heartbroken” that Schneider has “acted against his wishes by challenging the plans he so carefully made for his estate.” 

Williams took his own life inside his Tiburon, Calif., home on Aug. 11. He was 63.
