A Civil District Judge in New Orleans ruled Tuesday that Saints and Pelicans owner Tom Benson must undergo physical and mental exams in response to a lawsuit filed by his daughter challenging the mental competency of the 87-year-old.

Benson is facing a the lawsuit from daughter Renee LeBlanc, granddaughter Rita and grandson Ryan, who were removed as heirs last month when Benson decided to alter his succession plan for the pro sports franchises to place his wife, Gayle Benson, in control.

During the trial, the trust is not in Benson’s control.

The billionaire has had recent health problems, including in public appearances at NFL league gatherings.

Relatives are seeking to have him ruled mentally unfit to oversee his fortune and New Orleans’ two professional sports franchises.

The lawsuit was filed after Benson made it known publicly that Rita LeBlanc was no longer working for the teams and his succession plan appointed his third wife, Gayle, after “careful and deliberate” consideration.

Benson said poor treatment of his current wife contributed to the removal of his grandchildren from the estate plan.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said during his state of the league press conference that he considers Benson stable and fit to run the Saints.

Benson’s all-star legal team argued that a psychiatric evaluation is unncessary and intrusive.
