What is a conservatorship? The legal arrangement at the center of Michael Oher's case.
CBSN
Ex-NFL player Michael Oher shocked "The Blind Side" fans this week after revealing in court papers that the Tuohy family of Tennessee didn't actually adopt him, contrary to the 2009 film's dramatization.
Oher alleged Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy convinced him to sign documents nearly 20 years ago that gave them a conservatorship over him, providing them with the ability to profit from his name and likeness. The conservatorship continues today but should be discontinued going forward, Oher claimed in legal documents.
Sean Tuohy said this week that if Oher wants to end the conservatorship now, the family would "of course" be willing to end it.
