Britney Spears has petitioned for her father to be permanently removed from overseeing her personal affairs in the conservatorship that has governed her life since 2008. Spears’ conservatorship consists of two parts: her finances and her personal life. Jamie Spears temporarily stepped back from managing the latter in September 2019 owing to health issues, but retained control over her finances. Jamie Spears runs his daughter’s estimated £43.8m estate alongside the private wealth management firm the Bessemer Trust, which in February was appointed as co-conservator of her finances at the singer’s request. In an earlier hearing, Ingham told the court that Spears feared her father and would not return to work while he remained in charge of her personal life.
