A court agreement signed by Michael Oher when he was 18 that allowed a Memphis couple to make medical and financial decisions for him is under scrutiny
MICHAEL OHER
"There are a lot of not just unusual, but shocking and maybe never before seen things, for even attorneys experienced in this area,” said Victoria Haneman, a professor of trusts and estates at the Creighton University School of Law. The Tuohys said they set up the conservatorship to help Oher with health insurance, a driver's license and being admitted to college. Their lawyers said in athat the Tuohys never received money from Oher's NFL contracts or shoe deals and they split money from"The Blind Side," which earned the couple, their two children and Oher an estimated $100,000 apiece.
Haneman also questioned why the conservatorship didn't include a medical affidavit showing disability, or the appointment of a guardian ad litem who would protect Oher and provide an “independent set of eyes.” Both are typically part of conservatorships, she said. “People have been saying, ‘Well, you’ve got to have some kind of issue to be a ward in a conservatorship,'” Fishman said Thursday. “That's just not true. He just needed some guidance and that's why the court did it.”Another Tuohy attorney, Martin Singer, said in a statement that profit participation checks and studio accounting statements support the assertions that Oher received money from the film.
