In the documents, it was stated that all the children would get 1/3 of the share once they turned twenty-one. Then, half of the remaining funds would be given after they were twenty-five years old. They would get the full share of the wealth once they were thirty-years-old.

The trust was set up by Robin himself and was not dependent on his death. The exact amount of the money in the trust was not known, but since Robin Williams' net worth at the time of his death was estimated to be $50 million, all the three kids must have got an enormous sum each.
