Judge Clifford Klein of the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles, terminated Frederic Prinz von Anhalt’s temporary conservatorship over his 98-year-old wife, Zsa Zsa Gabor, due to the fact that it was no longer needed and that the woman’s future medical needs can be provided via an advanced health care directive.
A general conservatorship typically is created for a mentally or physically incapacitated adult, or those who are not capable of resisting fraud or undue influence in relationship to their finances.
Zha Zha was in an auto accident in 2002, and in ill health. She had several falls, and mini-strokes.
After both the Prinz and ZhaZha's daughter reached an interim solution in favor of appointing von Anhalt as Gabor’s temporary conservator. Gabor’s daughter died. The Court therefore found that since she died, there is no petition pending the court.
The cost of the conservatorship exceeded $120,000 per the Court papers.
In 2013, Judge Reva Goetz approved the sale of the couple’s home for $11 million in an agreement that allows the Prinz to remain there. The escrow on the sale of the house will close either 120 days after Gabor dies or in September 2018, whichever comes first.
