Williams reportedly signed the will on Jan. 31, 2011, and directed his executors to "give my entire estate, in trust" to the Robin Williams Trust, which he established for children Zak, 31, Zelda, 25, and Cody, 22.
"Documents from 2009 show that at the time, the trust was set up to disburse funds to each of the children in stages," reports People. "Each child would receive a third of his or her share at age 21, half the remaining share at 25, and the rest at 30. "
Following yesterday's TMZ report that being diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia was a "key factor" in driving Robin Williams to suicide, longtime friend Whoopi Goldberg commented on today's edition of The View.
Whoopi is no stranger to Lewy Body Dementia; earlier this year she appeared in a series of public service announcements to draw awareness to this devastating disease that is, following Alzheimer's, the second most common cause of progressive dimension.
"You know there's been a lot of speculation about why Robin William's took his own life," said Whoopi. "People are trying to find all kinds of reasons because people want information; they want to pin it on something. And now folks are reporting that he was driven to this because he suffered from Lewy Body Dementia. I don't think that's what it is, and I know people want to know something, but Lewy Body could have contributed to it, but it is not the cause of it. And the bottom line, that nobody wants to hear, is we're never gonna know. We're never gonna know what it was and so, you know, I send love to my friend and I hope he's in a better place. But don't believe what you hear."
