If you recall, a petition for a temporary conervatorship was filed by Tim Conway’s daughter, with a competing petition filed by his wife. In September, Judge Robert Wada, a Los Angeles judge denied the conservatorship petition by a daughter of 84-year-old actor-comedian Tim Conway to be appointed as her father’s conservator, and fount that the daughter’s concerns about her stepmother’s medical decisions are moot for now because he has been hospitalized since Sept. 3. Tim Conway Conservatorship Rejected by Judge in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Wada’s decision was “without prejudice,” meaning Kelly Conway could renew her conservatorship bid in the future if the circumstances warrant. In conservatorships, because the mental circumstances of individuals vary from time to time, the judges often deny the cases without prejudice.
Wada also denied a temporary restraining order that prevented Conway’s wife, Charlene, from moving Conway to a new residence prior to his hospitalization. He said that Conway’s current status as a hospital patient makes such an order unnecessary.
Arguing Charlene Conway’s attorney told the judge that Conway had brain surgery Thursday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and that all medical decisions are being made by Conway’s doctors.
Conway’s court-appointed lawyer, said that while he believes both Kelly Conway and Charlene Conway have his best interests at heart, he also saw no need for a temporary conservatorship at this time. It was stated in his court papers that Conway suffers from “fluid on the brain” and is unable to communicate.
Conway’s daughter still wants to see her father returned to a care facility where he was living once he is discharged from the hospital. Kelley believes that filing of the temporary conservatorship petition stopped any plans Charlene Conway may have had to move him elsewhere.
Some believe that there was evidence that some of the medication Conway received before being hospitalized made it hard for him to walk, talk, swallow and eat. Some people do mentally improve when the doctors take them off certain medications. Kelly had stated in the court papers that moving Conway would be “harmful to his health and life.”
Charlene Conway who has been married to Conway since 1984 — denied in court papers that she has any plans to move her husband. She claims Kelly Conway’s request to be named conservator was based on a shoddy medical report that relied on conjecture and fabrications.
You may remember Conway from “The Carol Burnett Show” in the 1960s with his comic antics often causing on-screen bouts of laughter by co-star Harvey Korman. Conway was previously married to Mary Ann Dalton.
