Daughter pushes for Falk conservatorship

Los Angeles, March 21: Peter Falk`s daughter is asking a court to establish a conservatorship so that she can continue to visit her ailing father.In court documents filed Friday in Los Angeles, Catherine Falk argues that a conservatorship is the only way to prevent the actor`s wife from blocking her regular visits. The filing states the "Columbo" actor is suffering from advanced dementia.

Catherine Falk was granted one supervised visit last month; no discussion of how that visit went is included in the documents filed Friday. The filing only seeks to establish a conservatorship over Falk, not his estate. A hearing was scheduled for Monday. A phone message left for an attorney representing Falk`s wife, Shera, was not immediately returned. Bureau Report
