The family of Beach Boys’ co-founder, Brian Wilson, is taking proactive steps to care for and support him in his ongoing struggles with mental illness. After the heartbreaking loss of his wife, Melinda, on January 30, Wilson’s ability to manage his personal needs became increasingly challenging as Melinda was his primary caregiver.
Recognizing the gravity of Wilson’s condition and the need for continued care, his family filed a lawsuit to seek conservatorship for Brian. The musician’s family’s wish was recently granted after a Los Angeles Superior Court ruled in favor of the family’s petition for conservatorship and named two of the singer’s known associates, Jean Sievers and LeeAnn Hard, as his conservators.
During the petition hearing, Judge Gus T. May revealed his findings after a comprehensive assessment. He disclosed that the 81-year-old lacked the cognitive ability to decide on matters concerning his healthcare independently.
The court entrusted the responsibilities of conservatorship to Jean Sievers, a renowned publicist, and LeeAnn Hard, an experienced manager. Their long-standing, intimate association with the singer and his late wife rendered them the most suitable candidates for this crucial role, ensuring continuity and familiarity in the decision-making process.
Wilson’s family is deeply satisfied with the legal resolution. The decision to pursue a conservatorship for the Beach Boys frontman was not taken lightly; rather, it stemmed from a thorough deliberation and consultation involving Wilson himself, his seven children, and his doctor.
Also, the family is confident that appointing Sievers and Hard is a significant step forward in ensuring household stability and preventing major disruptions. They are confident that Wilson’s daily needs will be meticulously attended to.
