A court-appointed lawyer recommended the approval of Jay Leno's petition to be the conservator of his wife's estate, according to a document filed in the Superior Court of California on Thursday. Mavis Leno, 77, suffers from advanced dementia and 'sometimes does not know her husband, Jay, nor her date of birth,' the lawyer, who spoke with her and her doctor, said. She also 'has a lot of disorientation' and 'will ruminate about her parents who have both passed.

'The purpose of doing the substituted judgment estate planning would be to prepare an estate plan and if something happened to Mr. Leno, a petition for conservatorship of the person would promptly be filed according to the plans to be made under the estate planning to have a conservator of the person to be appointed promptly,' the lawyer wrote in the court document.

Noting that Mavis Leno has been diagnosed with advanced dementia, the attorney wrote in the filing, 'She has a lot of disorientation, will ruminate about her parents who have both passed and her mother who died about 20 years ago.' However, Ostrin said that although it was clear she had cognitive impairment, she still has a charming personality and could communicate. His filing recommended that Jay Leno—who has been taking care of Mavis Leno at their Los Angeles home—be prepared for planning purposes.
