Family Takes Action After Wife’s Passing
The family of Brian Wilson, the 81-year-old co-founder of The Beach Boys, is seeking a conservatorship just weeks after the death of his wife, Melinda Ledbetter. Wilson’s family has appointed co-conservators to ensure continuity in his household and care for him and the children.
Health Concerns and Legal Process
The court documents reveal that Wilson has a major neurocognitive disorder, and is unable to provide for his own needs. The family is seeking a conservatorship due to the absence of a successor in Wilson’s health care directive, naming the appointed co-conservators for their close relationship and trust.
Remembering Melinda Ledbetter
Wilson shared the news of his wife’s passing on Instagram, describing her as his savior. They were married in 1995 and raised five children together. A hearing on the conservatorship matter is scheduled for April.
