Cher doesn’t seem to trust her son Elijah to make good financial decisions now… that’s why the singer-songwriter has filed for a conservatorship to control access to his money.
In documents filed Wednesday, Cher claims her 47-year-old son is “substantially unable to manage his own financial resources due to serious mental health and substance abuse issues.”
According to the documents, Elijah is entitled to regular payouts from a trust set up by his late father, the legendary musician Greg Allmanbut Cher is concerned that the money will immediately go to drugs instead of basic necessities.
The 77-year-old singer argues that as Elijah’s mother, she is in the best position to serve as conservator and also notes that two of Elijah’s siblings nominated her to fill the role.
She also digs for Elijah’s estranged wife, Marieangela Kingwhich she believes is undermining Elijah’s efforts to get the mental health and substance abuse help he needs.
As we previously reported…Marieangela accused Cher kidnap Elijah to force him into rehab last year, a claim Cher has unequivocally denied.
The court set a hearing date for March 6, 2024 to determine whether Cher will become conservator of his estate.
