Jay Leno is taking steps to manage his wife’s affairs … in the form of a conservatorship.

A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ … Jay’s wife suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.

We’ve seen Jay out in public with Mavis as recently as November, when they were photographed together at a comedy event in Los Angeles.

Jay and Mavis have been together for decades … tying the knot way back in 1980 after meeting in the 1970s at the famous Comedy Store in West Hollywood.
