Overview
- Joe Tacopina told ABC’s Nightline that guardianship attorneys have assured Williams she will be out of the arrangement by the end of the year.
- He says Williams does not have frontotemporal dementia, citing recent testing by a New York neurologist whose results were provided to her legal team in late October.
- Tacopina said he will seek a jury trial if a judge declines to terminate the guardianship.
- Williams was placed under court-ordered guardianship in 2022 after Wells Fargo asked a New York judge to review concerns about undue influence and financial exploitation.
- A separate $250 million lawsuit filed in June by ex-husband Kevin Hunter alleges confinement and mistreatment at an assisted living facility under the court-appointed guardian.
