Columbo can care for himself.
That's the word from the lawyer appointed by an L.A. judge to evaluate whether Peter Falk needed to be placed under a conservatorship controlled by his daughter, who has claimed the 81-year-old TV legend suffers from Alzheimer's disease and is unable to manage his personal and financial affairs.
In documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, attorney Clark R. Byam stated that he had met with Falk and described the four-time Emmy winner as having been "well dressed, clean and composed" during the visit. Byam said he didn't see any justification for Falk's daughter, Catherine, to assume custodial care over him.
Byam's report noted that a probate investigator also assigned to examine Falk's well-being recommended just the opposite—that he does in fact need a guardian to look after his affairs, hence the conservatorship.

I don't think Columbo can take care of himself, but that his wife can see to his care without a guardianship.
ReplyDeleteThe daughter may or may not mean well, but it's clear she is ignorant of the danger her quest for guardianship put her father in.
I hope this attorney stands tall and presses the guardianship proceedings be dismissed.
ReplyDeleteThis attorney who speaks the truth against the needs for guardianship needs to be firm. It is refreshing and rewarding to hear that there are some in the system who do not blindly go along with the flock like sheep.
ReplyDeleteI just hope Columbo will be more lucky than Britney Spears and will not get trapped by his corrupt and greedy relatives
