California Conservatorship Law: Family Fights Over Peter Falk

Posted on | May 31, 2009 |

Peter Falk, the star of Columbo, is 81 years old and suffering from dementia. His daughter Catherine Falk allegedly instituted the conservatorship (What is a Conservatorship?) because Peter’s wife had refused to let her visit him. Attorneys from both sides are questioning each other’s motives, with Peter’s wife calling Catherine “estranged” and alleging that she is solely interested in Peter’s estate. Catherine alleges that Peter’s long time wife of 30 years has “repeatedly slammed the door on her and her sister when they tried to visit their father at his home in Beverly Hills.” Judge Aviva Bobb is presiding over the case, and the hearings will continue on Monday.
