Judge extends Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband as temporary conservator over ailing actress

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband will remain the ailing actress’ conservator until at least August and will have to account for her assets, a judge ruled Wednesday.

Fredric von Anhalt has served as his wife’s conservator since July after the actress’ daughter questioned whether he was providing proper medical care and appropriately managing her finances.

An attorney appointed to represent Gabor’s interests wrote in a report that von Anhalt has generally been a good steward of his wife and has complied with terms of a settlement that required strict financial oversight. The report by attorney LeAnne Maillian states it appears von Anhalt had used some of his wife’s money to pay his own expenses, but that he has already repaid it.

Von Anhalt’s attorney William Remery declined to state how much was repaid.

Gabor, a Hungarian-born sexpot of the 1950s and 1960s, has been in declining health in recent years. She has contended with a broken hip, a leg amputated because of gangrene, blood clots, infections, pneumonia and other ailments and requires around-the-clock care.

Superior Court Judge Reva Goetz said Frederic von Anhalt should provide details about his wife’s finances by July so that she can review details before she reviews the case again on Aug. 21.

Maillian said she is receiving monthly financial reports about Gabor’s estate.

Gabor’s daughter Francesca Hilton has questioned whether von Anhalt was properly caring for her 95-year-old mother and her finances. Hilton’s attorney Kenneth Kossoff said Wednesday he is still seeking more details about Gabor’s medical care, but that didn’t want to publicly discuss them.
