Los Angeles, California – A court-appointed attorney has recommended the approval of Jay Leno’s petition to become the conservator of his wife’s estate, citing her advanced dementia and the need for protection for both of them, according to a document filed in the Superior Court of California.
Mavis Leno, 77, is reported to be experiencing significant confusion, often not recognizing her husband or even her own date of birth. The lawyer representing the couple emphasized their long-term loving relationship and the necessity of Leno’s petition for their well-being.
In the court document, the lawyer highlighted the importance of estate planning in the event of any unforeseen circumstances involving Jay Leno, ensuring prompt legal actions according to their plans to appoint a conservator if needed.
Furthermore, it was noted that Mavis Leno supports her husband’s role as conservator, viewing him as her protector and trusting him implicitly. The couple’s enduring 43-year relationship has been a pillar of support for them, with Jay Leno having taken charge of their financial matters throughout their time together.
A hearing on the matter is scheduled for April 9, where the court will further assess the situation and make a decision regarding Jay Leno’s petition. The couple, who do not have any children together, have been navigating this challenging phase with the guidance of legal counsel.
