Albert Otis Birch, a 96 year old Sarasota area millionaire who wed his 59 year old nurse last October, was ruled mentally competent by Superior Court Judge Frank Wickhem. He may transfer conservatorship of his estate from Security First National Bank in Pasadena to the US National Bank of San Diego after psychiatric evidence supported competence. Security First National and Birch’s niece Louise Smith Hopkins challenged the ruling, alleging incompetence and alleging the second wife Pearl Choate married him to obtain his wealth.
