Tristan Thompson Seeks Limited Conservatorship for Brother Amari

The petition asks a California court for narrow authority to oversee the 19-year-old’s care.

Overview

  • Thompson, which filed Monday, April 27, is asking to be named his brother’s limited conservator, a request now pending court review.
  • The filing says Amari cannot meet basic personal needs or manage money due to an intellectual disability and developmental delay, leaving him vulnerable to fraud and undue influence.
  • Amari lives with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a severe epilepsy that causes frequent seizures and long-term cognitive issues, requiring constant support.
  • Tristan has served as Amari’s legal guardian since February 2024 after their mother’s 2023 death, and a judge ruled reunification with their father was not viable under California law due to neglect and abandonment.
  • Court papers note Amari does not object to the conservatorship, while day-to-day care in Los Angeles has largely been handled by Khloé Kardashian because Tristan travels for the NBA.
