Brian Wilson's Family Seeks Conservatorship, Citing Dementia And Wife’s Death

The 81-year-old Beach Boys legend makes "incoherent utterances" and experiences other mental difficulties, according to court documents.
Brian Wilson’s family members are seeking a conservatorship for the Beach Boys legend, citing his drug regimen for dementia and the recent death of his wife.
Court documents filed Wednesday in Los Angeles said that the 81-year-old musician has been experiencing a “major neurocognitive disorder,” with a psychiatrist indicating in the paperwork that he is taking medication for the issue.
The documents, reviewed by HuffPost, also state that Wilson would not be able to attend a hearing for the conservatorship because it would be “emotionally very stressful, physically difficult, and detrimental to his health.”
“He is easily distracted, often even when aware of surroundings, and its purpose,” the psychiatrist wrote, adding that Wilson “makes spontaneous irrelevant or incoherent utterances. Has very short attention span and while unintentionally disruptive, is frequently unable to maintain decorum appropriate to the situation.”
In a statement on Wilson’s website, his family confirmed that longtime representatives LeeAnn Hard and Jean Sievers intend to serve as co-conservators so that “Brian and the children living at home will be taken care of.”
