Cher is seeking a conservatorship for her son Elijah Blue Allman, nearly two months after Allman was arrested in a pair of incidents.
The pop icon, 79, has requested a temporary conservatorship for her son's estate following Allman's recent arrests in New Hampshire, according to court documents obtained by USA TODAY on Friday, April 17. Cher filed her bid to designate a conservator for Allman on Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Under California law, a conservatorship is defined as a court arrangement, in which a judge appoints a responsible person or organization to care for an adult who cannot take care of themselves or their finances.
Cher, who has nominated private fiduciary Jason Rubin to be Allman's conservator, is asking the court to allow Rubin to oversee her son's finances, including receiving distributions from Allman's trust fund, managing a conservatorship account for his money and paying expenses on Allman's behalf.
"Elijah has no concept of money and is unable to manage his financial resources and is unable to withstand fraud or undue influence," Cher's attorney, Justin B. Gold, wrote in the filing, noting that Allman is currently staying at a psychiatric hospital in New Hampshire following his legal troubles.
