Brian Wilson's conservators will not be taking any major life decisions behind his kids!
The court has ordered his conservators to run any healthcare-related decisions by his children for authorization as the Beach Boys member battles dementia.
Brian Wilson's family filed a petition to place the legend under a conservatorship following his wife Melinda Ledbetter's death in January.
Brian Wilson's Children Must Be Carried Along On Health Updates
The judge has charged all the singer's children (who wished) to be added to the text group with his nurses for essential updates on Wilson's health. The kids are now crucial to the singer's health decisions.
The court documents also ordered his two conservators, Jean Sievers and LeeAnn Hard, to file additional paperwork on Wilson's care plan within the next 60 days.
Sievers and Hard were nominated by Wilson's family to take over control of his affairs in February, especially after Ledbetter's passing.
On the choice of Sievers and Hard, the family noted the decision was made to avoid any "extreme changes to the household." Essentially, they didn't want Brain and his children's living situation to change.
His family added that the singer will continue to enjoy the love and presence of his loved ones. Wilson will also get to participate in any activities of his choice.
An L.A. judge authorized the family's petition to place the singer under a conservatorship. The court also allowed the two women to consent for the conservatee to receive medical treatment, per In Touch.
Inside Wilson's Court-Ordered Conservatorship
The conservators disclosed that Brian is currently under 24-hour care inside his expansive $9 million, six-bedroom, seven-bathroom, 9,353 square-foot Beverly Hills home.
Sievers and Hard shared that the singer is monitored round the clock by a nurse with well-prepared meals and proper medication administration by experts.
"[Brian] has three full-time caregivers living at his house. The caregivers have been working for [Brian] for many years, well before the commencement of these conservatorship proceedings," the court documents showed.
The filing continued that the "Conservators have also hired 3 nurses to assist Brian at his house. The three nurses have rotating schedules such that there is always a nurse at the house to care for [Brian]. With these measures in place, there is no plan or need for [Brian] to live anywhere other than his personal residence."
The 'I Get Around' Singer's Lawyer Spoke On His Living Condition
A court-appointed lawyer detailed his thoughts on the singer's living situation, noting that he was living well.
He confirmed that Wilson lived in his "impeccably well-maintained residence in Beverly Hills, California" with his "two kids, a long-term live-in caregiver, as well as other caregivers that assist him with his daily activities."
The lawyer noted that Wilson used a walker to get around the house. But, the 82-year-old received help from one of his caretakers, who helped him get in and out of the walker. Wilson's lawyer lauded his performance despite dementia, saying:
"[Brian] was "well oriented as to person, place and time, acknowledging and responding to his name, providing me with his date of birth, the time of day, and the current date."
However, he stated that Wilson was unable to provide his kids' names other than the names of the two daughters who lived in his house.
Brian Wilson's Minor Children Also Got Guardians
In May, The Blast reported that Hard also filed a request for guardianship for Wilson's minor children. She nominated a longtime friend of Wilson.
Hard stated that she and Ramos were the right fit for guardianship, as it tallied with their nominations for the role in Brian and Melinda's wills.
Both women also shared a strong bond with the children, namely Dash Tristan Wilson and Dakota Rose Wilson, who gave their blessings to the guardianship.
Brian was obviously not considered for his kids' guardianship due to his medical condition, as Hard explained that his youngest kids require "official care, custody, and control" to ensure they are well taken care of.
The Record Producer's Daughters Admired His Strength Amid Dementia
Wilson's children have shown support in many ways than one since his health battle began. Back in May, his daughters Carnie and Wendy spoke highly of him in an interview.
The Blast shared that the legend was diagnosed with a neurocognitive disorder earlier in the year, and Wendy noted that he was doing really good under his current circumstances. Wendy admired her father's resilience and strength, describing him as "very tough, a very strong person."
Her sister Carnie also shared the same sentiment and declared that Wilson "is doing great! He is doing great. Everyday he is in physical therapy. I'm cooking for him, he's spending a lot of time with his children now, his family."
