In an effort to protect her father's assets, Peter Falk's daughter Catherine Falk has filed court documents claiming that her father has Alzheimer's disease and dementia, according to Reuters.

She says that the Columbo star needs her to manage her affairs, as she's worried the 81-year-old actor can be "deceived into transferring away property." Catherine is seeking to achieve conservatorship status to protect his health as well.
