Cher Files Second Guardianship Petition, Seeks Trustee for Son’s Finances

Court papers cite worsening mental health with trust payouts fueling drug binges.

Overview

  • Cher has filed a new petition in Los Angeles Superior Court that asks to install estate administrator Jason Rubin to manage Elijah Blue Allman’s money while she serves as a temporary guardian.
  • The filing says the 49-year-old is a danger to himself and lacks the capacity to handle his finances or protect himself from undue influence.
  • Court documents describe a pattern in which trust payments are spent on drugs, followed by overdoses and hospital stays, and note he receives about $120,000 a year from his late father’s estate.
  • Elijah is in custody in New Hampshire in a locked psychiatric facility for competency restoration and faces two local cases that list burglary, vandalism, simple assault, trespass, and bail violations.
  • Hearings are scheduled in the New Hampshire cases and in the California guardianship matter, and half-brother Devon Allman supports the petition in a letter that calls Elijah’s condition frightening and delusional.
