Juiz determina que Brian Wilson, fundador dos Beach Boys, necessita de conservadoria

Um juiz decidiu que o fundador dos Beach Boys ⚾️ e lendário músico Brian Wilson deve estar sob conservadoria pessoal e de saúde devido a um "transtorno neurocognitivo significativo", conforme ⚾️ a avaliação de um médico.

O juiz Gus T May, do Tribunal Superior de Los Angeles, autorizou a petição apresentada pela ⚾️ família e o círculo interno de Wilson após a morte deaposta quenteesposa, Melinda Ledbetter Wilson, que cuidava da maioria ⚾️ de suas tarefas e assuntos.

May determined that a conservatorship is necessary ⚾️ for Wilson's personal and medical decisions, as evidence indicates that Wilson consents to the arrangement and lacks the capacity to ⚾️ make healthcare decisions.

May appointed two of Wilson's longtime representatives, publicist Jean Sievers and manager LeeAnn Hard, as his conservators. There ⚾️ were no significant objections raised.

Two of Wilson's seven children, Carnie and Wendy Wilson from the singing group Wilson Phillips, requested ⚾️ through their attorney that all the children be included in a group text chain about their father and be consulted ⚾️ on medical decisions. The judge granted the stipulations.

A doctor's declaration filed with the petition in February said Wilson has a ⚾️ "major neurocognitive disorder", is taking medication for dementia and "is unable to properly provide for his own personal needs for ⚾️ physical health, food, clothing, or shelter".

Sievers and Hard have had a close relationship with Wilson and his wife for many ⚾️ years. The court-appointed attorney, Robert Frank Cipriano, said Wilson acknowledged the need for the conservatorship and trusts the judgment of ⚾️ the two women.

Cipriano's report to the court said he visited Wilson at his "impeccably well maintained residence in Beverly Hills", ⚾️ where he lives with two daughters and a long-term live-in caregiver.

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".

The family statement at the time said the decision was ⚾️ made to ensure "there will be no extreme changes" and that "Brian will be able to enjoy all of his ⚾️ family and friends and continue to work on current projects".

Judges in California can appoint a conservator for a person, their ⚾️ finances – referred to as the estate – or both, as was the case with Britney Spears. Spears' case brought ⚾️ attention – much of it negative – to conservatorships and prompted legislative changes.

The Wilson petition did not seek a conservator ⚾️ of the estate because his assets are in a trust, with Hard as a trustee.

Wilson, one of the most deeply ⚾️ revered and acclaimed co-founders, producers, arrangers, and chief songwriters of the Beach Boys, has struggled with mental health and substance ⚾️ abuse issues throughout his career.

He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 along with his ⚾️ bandmates, including his brothers Carl e Dennis
