In recent news, the family of Brian Wilson, the co-founder of The Beach Boys, has filed for a conservatorship on his behalf. The 81-year-old musician is reported to be suffering from a 'major neurocognitive disorder, such as dementia.' This decision was made following the passing of Brian's wife, Melinda.
In a statement released to PEOPLE, Wilson's family revealed that longtime family representatives, LeeAnn Hard and Jean Sievers, will serve as co-conservators of his person. The purpose of this conservatorship is to ensure that there are no drastic changes to Brian's household, and that he and his children living at home are properly cared for.
