Less than a week after alleging that their stepmother, Jean
Kasem, won't allow them access to their ailing father Casey Kasem, the radio
icon's daughter Julie, 38, has filed for a conservatorship that would put her
in charge of her dad's health care, according to court documents obtained by E!News.
Juile's sister, Kerri, 41, told Los Angeles ' ABC 7 News last week that the
81-year-old Kasem is battling Parkinson's disease and they haven't seen him in
months.
"I don't want any of his money. I don't want his
estate. I don't want anything," Julie added. "I simply want to see my
father on a regular basis, give him a hug, hold his hand, give him a massage,
put a smile on his face. It's that simple."
Kerri said last week that she, Julie and brother Michael
have tried to contact their dad but Jean won't let their father take his calls
and has told them to go away when they've shown up and knocked on the door of
the couple's Holmby Hills home.
Kerri, Julie and Michael are Kasem's children from his first
marriage, to Linda Myers. He married Jean in 1980 and they welcomed daughter Liberty in 1990.
There has been no word from Jean Kasem's camp regarding her
stepkids' accusations.
A hearing on Julie's petition is scheduled for Oct. 15. In
her filing, Julie states that her father will be unable to attend the hearing
himself because of his medical condition.
