Michael Oher wrote about his legal arrangement with the Tuohy family in his 2011 book and used the phrase ‘legal conservators’
claimed in his lawsuit that he didn’t know about his conservatorship until earlier this year, but a resurfaced passage from his 2011 memoir seems to suggest otherwise.
“It kind of felt like a formality, as I’d been a part of the family for more than a year at that point,” Oher, 37, wrote in, describing his legal arrangement with the Tuohys. “Since I was already over the age of 18 and considered an adult by the state of Tennessee,Oher went on to allege that Sean and Leigh Anne, both 63, told him that “legal conservators” means “pretty much the exact same thing as ‘adoptive parents,’ but that the laws were just written in a way that took my age into account.
“Honestly, I didn’t care what it was called,” Oher continued. “I was just happy that no one could argue that we weren’t legally what we already knew was real: We were a family.”
