Jay Leno Files for Conservatorship Over Wife's Estate Amid Her Dementia Battle

The move, supported by a court-appointed attorney, aims to secure Mavis Leno's financial and care needs as she faces advanced dementia.

Jay Leno has filed for conservatorship over his wife Mavis Leno's estate as she battles advanced dementia, which sometimes prevents her from recognizing him.
The court-appointed attorney Ronald E. Ostrin supports the conservatorship, highlighting the couple's long-term loving relationship and Mavis's trust in Jay.
Mavis Leno, 77, has major neurocognitive disorders and cognitive impairment, according to medical records and her neurologist Dr. Hart Cohen.
The conservatorship is intended to ensure Mavis's financial security and care, particularly if Jay were to pass away before her.
A hearing for the conservatorship is scheduled for April 9, with the aim of providing Mavis Leno with managed assets and least restrictive care.
