Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson to be placed in conservatorship, judge rules

Amid his battle with a “major neurocognitive disorder,” The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson has been placed under a conservatorship, a judge ruled Thursday.

Judge Gus T. May approved the guardianship during a hearing Thursday morning, according to the Los Angeles County Superior Court website.

“The court finds from clear and convincing evidence that a conservatorship of the person is necessary and appropriate in that (Wilson) is unable to care for (his) person,” a minute order from the hearing reads. “The conservatorship is the least restrictive alternative needed for the protection of conservatee.”

Wilson did not object to the conservatorship, according to court documents obtained by USA TODAY.

Wilson’s longtime manager LeeAnn Hard and publicist Jean Sievers, who filed the conservatorship, were named his conservators.
