‘American Pickers’ Frank Fritz Conservatorship In Danger

By Shawn Lealos

When American Pickers star Frank Fritz suffered his stroke in 2022 he needed a temporary guardian and conservator. However, over a year later, he is in danger of losing both for the second time for the same reason.

Here is why Frank’s conservator and guardian are in danger and what this means for the reality TV star.

Frank Fritz in danger of losing conservatorship

In August 2022, friends of American Pickers star Frank Fritz filed an emergency appointment after the reality TV star suffered a stroke. Frank, 60, was unable to care for himself, and his friend Chris Davis became his legal guardian. Furthermore, Midwest One Bank became the conservator for his assets. However, both are in danger of losing those titles.

Court papers were filed that accused them of failing to file their annual report that was due on November 12, 2023. If they don’t work this out, Frank could lose both his guardian and conservator. The biggest problem here is that this is the second time this has happened. On June 2, 2023, the same Notice of Delinquency for Conservatorships was also filed when the inventory report was not filed on December 12, 2022 (via The U.S. Sun).

While they filed that report later in June, they have now missed a second deadline that is required under the court’s order. If this newest missed deadline is not corrected, the judge could make both parties subject to removal. Even if the forms are filed, disciplinary action could still be taken.

Frank Fritz needs these protections in place

After the American Pickers star suffered his stroke, he needed help put in place to manage his affairs. When Frank Fritz, 60, had his stroke, the papers were filed claiming that he was unable to care for his safety and well-being. It also said his decision-making was impaired. The papers said, “Decisions must be made for Mr. Fritz’s care and placement while he continues to recover and receive treatment for his injuries.”

However, for the plan to remain in place, there are guidelines put into effect that protect Frank. The deadlines missed were for updates and forms on several aspects of Frank’s recovery, life, and assets. This is to keep anyone from taking advantage of the American Pickers star. While this might seem difficult to manage for an individual like Chris Davis, the conservator is a bank that should have things in place to never miss these important deadlines.

A lawyer filed a “will prior to death” for Frank in October as well, and the judge accepted that will. Frank is worth $6 million.

What are your thoughts on Frank Fritz’s guardian and conservator continuing to miss important court-mandated deadlines? Does this make you worry more about the American Pickers star?
