Beach Boys Co-Founder Brian Wilson Under Conservatorship Due to Neurocognitive Disorder

A legal filing seeks to help Brian Wilson with his medical care, highlighting his inability to consent to treatment for his condition, which significantly impairs his mental functions. The court documents reveal Wilson’s struggles with fear, depression, and a diminished capacity to engage appropriately in social settings.

Currently, he is on medication to slow the progression of the illness. The conservatorship initiative comes after the recent passing of Wilson’s wife, who was managing his daily living needs, leaving him unable to care for his physical health, food, clothing, or shelter.

The filing aims to ensure Wilson remains in his home, receiving the best care possible while satisfying his daily living needs.
