The music star’s ‘major neurocognitive disorder’ given as reason by a Los Angeles judge for a two-person conservatorship
should be in a court conservatorship to manage his personal and medical decisions because of what his doctor calls a “major neurocognitive disorder”.superior court judge Gus T May approved the petition filed by the 81-year-old Wilson’s family and inner circle after the death of his wife in January, Melinda Ledbetter Wilson, who handled most of his tasks and affairs.“I find from clear and convincing evidence that a conservatorship of the person is necessary,” May said at the brief hearing.
Two of Wilson’s seven children, Carnie and Wendy Wilson from the singing group Wilson Phillips, asked through their attorney that all the children be added to a group text chain about their father and that all be consulted on medical decisions. The judge granted the stipulations. Sievers and Hard have had a close relationship with Wilson and his wife for many years. In a report, Robert Frank Cipriano, an attorney appointed by the court to represent Wilson’s interests, said Wilson acknowledged the need for the conservatorship and said he trusts the judgment of the two women.
Wilson can move around with help from a walker and the caregiver, Cipriano said, and he has a good sense of who he is, where he is and when it is, but could not name his children beyond the two that live with him. He said Wilson was “mostly difficult to understand and gave very short responses to questions and comments”.
