Beach Boys' Brian Wilson's Conservators Discover 7-Figure Bank Account Amid Singer's Dementia Battle
Beach Boys’ conservators notified the court they were taking over control of an account that holds a seven-figure sum amid the singer’s dementia battle, In Touch can exclusively report.
On May 9, and Jean Sivers, who were appointed to serve as conservators over Brian, 82, told a Los Angeles Superior Court judge about their move regarding a Wells Fargo Advisors Security account that is comprised of stocks, bonds and cash.
In a court filing obtained by In Touch, the conservators explained the account holds assets worth $1,012,465.85.
As In Touch previously reported, the legendary singer was placed under a conservatorship in February 2024.
Brian’s family filed the petition shortly after the entertainer’s longtime wife, Melinda Ledbetter, died. Around the same time, the family revealed Brian had been diagnosed with dementia.

The family selected Brian’s longtime manager LeeAnn and Jean to serve as the conservators.
Brian’s family spoke out about the decision at the time.
They explained, “This decision was made to ensure that there will be no extreme changes to the household and Brian and the children living at home will be taken care of and remain in the home where they are cared for by Gloria Ramos and the wonderful team at the house who have been in place for many years helping take care of the family.”
“Brian will be able to enjoy all of his family and friends and continue to work on current projects as well as participate in any activities he chooses,” his family explained. The judge signed off on the conservatorship and put LeeAnn and Jean in the roles the family requested.
The two were to consult with Brian’s family on any big decisions.
In court documents, the conservators revealed Brian lives in his six-bedroom, seven-bathroom, 9,353-square-foot home in Beverly Hills, worth $9 million. The duo said the entertainer has a team, which includes a nurse, and he is under 24-hour care.
Brian’s meals are prepared for him and his medicines are laid out for him to take.

The conservators told the court, “[Brian] has three full time caregivers living at his house. The caregivers have been working for [Brian] for many years, well before the commencement of these conservatorship proceedings.”
“Conservators have also hired 3 nurses to assist Brian at his house. The three nurses have rotating schedules such that there is always a nurse at the house to care for [Brian]. With these measures in place, there is no plan or need for [Brian] to live anywhere other than his personal residence,” they said.
The court appointed a lawyer to speak to Brian. The attorney submitted a report that said Brian’s home was “impeccably well-maintained.”
The report provided insight into Brian’s current health.
The attorney wrote, “[Brian] uses a walker to get around, but only with the help of one of his caretakers who steadies him and helps him get into and out of the walker.”
He added, “[Brian] was well oriented as to person, place and time, acknowledging and responding to his name, providing me with his date of birth, the time of day, and the current date, but was unable to give me the names of his children other than the names of the two daughters who live with him.”
