  • The conservatorship was initiated after the death of Wilson's wife, Melinda, who previously managed his affairs.
  • Two of Wilson's longtime associates, a publicist and a manager, have been appointed as his conservators.
  • Wilson's case reflects a broader scrutiny of conservatorships, highlighted by the #FreeBritney movement.
  • The musician's mental health has been in decline, prompting the legal intervention to safeguard his well-being.
  • Recent changes in conservatorship laws aim to protect individuals' rights, spurred by high-profile cases.
