Breaking News: Longtime KTLA entertainment reporter, Sam Rubin, has passed away at the age of 64. In other news, a judge has ruled that Beach Boys’ founder, Brian Wilson, requires a conservatorship due to a major neurocognitive disorder.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Gus T. May approved the conservatorship petition filed by Wilson’s family and inner circle following the passing of his wife, Melinda Ledbetter Wilson. The judge stated that Wilson consents to the arrangement and lacks the capacity to make health care decisions.

Publicist Jean Sievers and manager LeeAnn Hard have been appointed as Wilson’s conservators. Wilson’s daughters, Carnie and Wendy Wilson, requested to be included in a group text chain about their father and to be consulted on medical decisions, which the judge granted.

Wilson, who is 81 years old, has been diagnosed with a major neurocognitive disorder and is currently on medication for dementia. The conservatorship aims to ensure that Wilson’s personal needs are properly provided for.

Sievers and Hard, who have a longstanding relationship with Wilson and his late wife, have been entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing Wilson’s affairs. The court-appointed attorney, Robert Frank Cipriano, reported that Wilson acknowledged the necessity of the conservatorship and expressed his trust in the judgement of the two women.

Wilson, who resides in Beverly Hills with his daughters and a caregiver, relies on a walker for mobility. Despite his condition, he maintains a good sense of well-being.
