- Wilson’s conservatorship will take care of his personal and medical needs
- An LA Superior Court judge ruled Wilson could no longer take care of himself
- Wilson’s family requested the arrangement after the death of his wife Melinda
The Beach Boys mastermind Brian Wilson will have a conservatorship set up to care for his personal and medical needs, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled on Thursday.
Judge Gus T. May determined that the 81-year-old singer–songwriter required a court conservatorship, citing what his doctors described as a ‘major neurocognitive disorder,’ according to ABC News.
The ruling comes just under three months after Wilson’s family and caregivers requested that a conservatorship be set up to care for the rock and roll icon.
According to them, he has been suffering from dementia, which was exacerbated following the January death of his wife Melinda — who had cared for many of his needs — at the age of 77.
‘I find from clear and convincing evidence that a conservatorship of the person is necessary,’ the judge declared at the hearing.
