After the death of Wilson’s wife and long -time manager Melinda Ledbetter in early 2024, the long -time representatives of the musician, Leeann Hard and Jean Sievers, applied to appoint them to his co -pollutors.
According to court documents, which were first spotted by the “Daily Mail”, Wilson was no longer able to provide his personal needs for physical health, food, clothing or accommodation due to “severe neurocognitive disorders (including dementia)”. Before her death, Ledbetter was Wilson’s supervisor and took care of his “daily life needs”.
Sievers (Wilson’s long-time publicist) and Hard (Wilson’s long-standing business manager) said at the time that it is “intended to ensure that Mr. Wilson’s daily life needs are satisfied and he receives the best possible care while staying in his house”.
