Cher has been denied the chance to become the conservator of her son Elijah’s estate – again.
After applying for the second time this year to become the conservator of her son Elijah Blue Allman, Cher has been denied the role.
Judge Jessica A. Uzcategui told the singer, 77, that there was not enough evidence to prove he needed to be in a conservatorship.
“I don’t question the motivation behind Cher wanting to (help) her son… however, I do not see sufficient evidence,” she said.
Cher has expressed concern about her 47-year-old son’s ability to manage his finances when he is able to access his trust fund on 1 February.
She previously alleged, “that if such distribution (of funds) were to be made directly to Elijah, such fund will be immediately spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself and putting his life at risk.”
In the hearing on Monday, her lawyers enforced the point, saying how Elijah “is surrounded by people that deny the mental illness… we are trying to avoid a situation where his life is at risk.”
After the hearing, Elijah released a statement saying he “is thrilled that the court saw he does not need a temporary conservatorship,” and stating that he is open to mediation with his mum.
Elijah is the son of Cher and musician Greg Allman.
