Jay Leno has been granted conservatorship of his wife, Mavis Leno, following her dementia diagnosis
Jay Leno has officially been granted conservatorship of his wife, Mavis Leno, following her dementia diagnosis.
Jay, 73, filed for a conservatorship of Mavis, 77, in January, with the goal of setting up a living trust for his wife in the event of his death. He cited Mavis’ dementia diagnosis as the reason for his filing, according to documents obtained by Us at the time. “According to her neurologist, Dr. Hart Cohen, she has advanced dementia, sometimes does not know her husband, Jay, nor her date of birth,” the filing stated. “She has a lot of disorientation, will ruminate about her parents who have both passed and her mother who died about 20 years ago.”
Ostrin also called Jay’s course of action “the least restrictive alternative and most protective of Ms. Leno” while continuing to “preserve her dignity.”
