Brian Wilson’s Family Seeks Conservatorship for Beach Boys Legend Following Death of His Wife

The family of Brian Wilson, co-founder of The Beach Boys, has filed for a conservatorship due to his major neurocognitive disorder, possibly dementia, following the death of his wife, Melinda. The filing aims to ensure Wilson’s well-being and home care continuity.

Longtime family representatives LeeAnn Hard and Jean Sievers are proposed as co-conservators. Wilson’s current condition, his wife’s recent passing, and his difficulty in providing for his own needs are outlined in the court documents. The filing states that Wilson’s ability to attend court hearings is impaired due to his condition. Wilson and Melinda had seven children together, including adopted ones, and Wilson described his wife as his “savior.” A court hearing is set for April 26.
