Family Takes Action After Melinda Ledbetter’s Passing
The family of Brian Wilson, the 81-year-old Beach Boys co-founder, is seeking a conservatorship just weeks after the death of his wife, Melinda Ledbetter. Wilson’s family, led by his publicist and manager, has appointed co-conservators to ensure stability in the household.
Longtime Associates Named Co-Conservators
Jean Sievers and LeeAnn Hard, Wilson’s trusted associates, have been appointed as co-conservators to look after Wilson’s well-being and household affairs. The decision aims to maintain the current living arrangements for Wilson and his children under the care of Gloria Ramos and the dedicated household team.
Legal Action in Motion
Court documents have been filed in Los Angeles County seeking the conservatorship, citing Wilson’s neurocognitive disorder. The filings highlight Wilson’s inability to cater to his personal needs, emphasizing the importance of the conservatorship for his health and well-being.
Hearing Set for April
A court hearing on the conservatorship matter is scheduled for April to address the family’s petition. Wilson’s family seeks to ensure his continued access to family, friends, and ongoing projects, providing a stable environment under the guidance of the co-conservators.
Remembering Melinda Ledbetter
Wilson’s late wife, Melinda Ledbetter, played a crucial role in his life before her passing. Wilson described her as his savior, emphasizing the profound impact she had on his life. The couple, who married in 1995, shared a deep bond and raised a family together.
As the Beach Boys icon faces this new chapter with the support of his family and trusted confidants, the conservatorship aims to provide the necessary care and stability for Wilson in the days ahead.
