Britney Under Father’s Control Until 09


The ruling is in: Britney Spears’ father, Jamie, will retain conservatorship of the singer’s finances and her estate until December 31, the L.A. Superior Court decided in a hearing on Thursday.

Commissioner Reva Goetz said after the hearing, “Ms. Spears is reluctantly agreeing to extend the temporary [conservatorship].”

However, the commissioner was quick to point out that Mr. Spears’ conservatorship could be “terminated earlier” if needed. A status hearing has been set for October 28, at which point, if the court deems Brit Brit well enough to handle her own affairs, a termination of her father’s control would be undetaken.

Jamie Spears and his attorney, Andrew Wallet, have been in control of the Toxic singer’s estate and finances since February, after Spears was hospitalised for a second time with a bipolar attack.
