Mickey Rooney's Conservatorship is Permanent

Mickey Rooney's legal and financial affairs will remain under the permanent control of his lawyer after a judge in Los Angeles ruled his conservatorship should stay in place indefinitely.

The veteran actor's attorney Michael Augustine was appointed temporary conservator in February (11) after the Oscar-winner filed court papers claiming his step-son Christopher Aber had been trying to convince him to sign over control of his assets.

The 90 year old alleged he feared for his safety and in a sworn declaration to the court, Augustine claimed he had found $400,000 missing from one of the star's bank accounts. A judge granted his request for a restraining order against Aber and his wife.

The case went back to court on 3/25 and a judge made the conservatorship permanent. The restraining order against the Abers was not extended, but the couple has reportedly agreed to continue staying away from Rooney.

Well, there's not a one of us who didn't know it was coming - except Mickey. And he doesn't even know how bad it is yet.

I wonder how long it will take for Mickey Rooney to realize he's been tricked.

What a shame.

I am dismayed to see this. Unfortunately, he's been swayed into what will become a worse mess for him.

So very sad to see this happen to him at 90.

I'm afraid they've tricked him into believing this is a good thing when actually, they've just sealed his fate.
