It seems he hopes that if he has a conservator that he picks, he won't have to worry about his estate - really, his entire life - being controlled by someone he doesn't trust.
Again, it's a shame he feels he can't trust his own family. Maybe if they give him some time to heal from Lana's death, there might be hope for reconciliation and the rebuilding of trust. Even if this Newton guy is the most qualified person in the world, if Randy views him with suspicion and resentment, how can he really help Randy's mental health?
Lest I come off as hostile to the children, let me say that I do truly hope there comes a time when the Meisners can be a true family again. Blood is blood.
