The article is biased towards the author's perspective. The title of the article immediately implies that Jay Leno is taking steps to manage his wife's affairs due to her Alzheimer's diagnosis.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title implies that Jay Leno has filed for a conservatorship over his wife's estate due to her dementia diagnosis. However, this is not entirely accurate as it suggests that Mavis lacks capacity to manage her own affairs when she may have been able to do so with assistance from Jay or others. Secondly, the article quotes Leno stating that he has always handled their finances and wants to ensure that Mavis has managed assets sufficient for her care should Jay predecease her. This statement is misleading as it implies that Leno was solely responsible for managing their finances when in fact, they may have had other sources of income or financial support. Lastly, the article mentions a court order to be appointed conservator over Mavis' estate but does not provide any details on what this entails or how long it will last.
