Jamie Spears has agreed to step down from his 13-year role as conservator of his daughter Britney's estate, in what the pop star's attorney on Thursday called a major victory. "We are pleased that Mr Spears and his lawyer have today conceded in a filing that he must be removed," the singer's lawyer Mathew Rosengart said in a statement. Rosengart called the decision by Jamie Spears "a major victory for Britney Spears and another step toward justice." Thursday's court document did not say when Jamie Spears would step down from his role in handling his daughter's $60 million estate and said that he felt there were no grounds for immediately removing or suspending him. Thursday's court document said Jamie Spears has always had his daughter's best interests at heart and has not coerced her to do anything.
