Modern day slavery! Mr Rooney thinks he will benefit financially from his income no no no Mr. Rooney wait til you see the billing frenzy that goes along with conservatorship. Best to you because you're going to need it. You had how many wives? Well, the only way out of conservatorship / guardianship is 99.9% via death of the ward.

I'm all for Mickey Rooney working if he wants to, but to me this is to feed the lawyers.
