Jay Leno granted conservatorship over wife Mavis due to her dementia diagnosis [Video]

A Los Angeles judge appointed Jay Leno conservator over his wife Mavis’ estate Tuesday, Fox News Digital confirmed.

The former late-night host filed the petition in January, and stated that his wife of more than four decades “lacks the necessary capacity to execute the estate plan” due to her “major neurocognitive disorders (including dementia),” according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

“I think she’s in the least restrictive environment. I think she’s in very good care with Mr. Leno,” the judge said during the hearing, according to People magazine.
