Jay Leno's Wife Struggles to Recognize Him Amid Dementia Battle

Comedian Jay Leno is seeking conservatorship over his wife Mavis Leno's estate as she battles advanced dementia, with court-appointed attorney Ronald E. Ostrin revealing that Mavis sometimes does not recognize her husband and has major neurocognitive disorders. The purpose of the petition is to prepare an estate plan to ensure Mavis's care in the event of Jay's passing, and Mavis consents to it, trusting him as her protector. Jay Leno's attorneys and Mavis's neurologist have indicated that she is already being prescribed medications for her condition, and the conservatorship is designed to provide her with protection under court supervision.
