LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge says Beach Boys co-founder and music luminary Brian Wilson should be in a court conservatorship to handle his personal and medical decisions. The Los Angeles judge on Thursday granted the petition for the conservatorship filed by the management and family of the 81-year-old Wilson. They say he needed the legal arrangement because of serious mental decline and the recent death of his wife, who handled many of his affairs. Two longtime Wilson representatives will now be empowered to make decisions for him. Wilson and his bandmates were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.
