A judge ruled that Brian Wilson, co-founder of the Beach Boys, should be placed under a conservatorship due to a "major neurocognitive disorder," following the death of his wife who managed his affairs.

The judge appointed
two longtime Wilson representatives, publicist Jean Sievers and manager LeeAnn Hard, as his conservators.
Wilson's children
, particularly Carnie and Wendy Wilson from Wilson Phillips, requested to be included in medical decisions and communication regarding their father's well-being. The court granted their request.
A doctor's declaration
revealed that Wilson is suffering from a major neurocognitive disorder and dementia, requiring medication and assistance with daily tasks like health, food, clothing, and shelter.
Wilson resides in
Beverly Hills with his daughters and a long-term live-in caregiver in a well-maintained residence, and he expressed trust in the judgement of his appointed conservators.
