Longtime Wife’s Death Prompts Legal Action
The family of **Brian Wilson**, co-founder of the legendary band The Beach Boys, is seeking a conservatorship for the 81-year-old musician. This decision comes just weeks after the passing of Wilson’s longtime wife, **Melinda Ledbetter**.
Ensuring Stability and Care
Wilson’s family has appointed **Jean Sievers** and **LeeAnn Hard** as co-conservators of Wilson’s person to ensure stability and care for him and the children living at home. This move aims to prevent extreme changes to the household and maintain the support system that has been in place for many years.
The court documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court highlight Wilson’s health condition, indicating that he has a “major neurocognitive disorder.” The filing mentions Ledbetter’s crucial role in attending to Wilson’s daily living needs before her passing, emphasizing his inability to provide for himself effectively.
Trust and Support
Sievers and Hard are named co-conservators due to their close relationship with Wilson and the trust he has in them. The family’s goal is to ensure that Wilson can enjoy time with family and friends, pursue his projects, and engage in activities of his choice.
A hearing on the conservatorship matter is scheduled for April, as the family navigates this challenging time following the loss of Ledbetter, who was not only Wilson’s wife but also his caregiver and source of strength for many years.
