The conservatorship that has controlled Britney Spears’ finances, personal life and medical decisions since 2008, and which for many years was controlled by her father, Jamie Spears, has ended.
On Nov. 12, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny said the conservatorship of Spears’ person and her estate are “no longer required, effective immediately.”
According to NPR, the conservatorship was split into two parts: the conservatorship of Spears’ estate, which controlled all her income and financial decisions, and the conservatorship of Spears’ person, which was in charge of her well-being and health. Jamie Spears had been suspended as conservator of her estate in late September, after the singer accused her father of exploiting her.
The singer and her attorney, Mathew Rosengart, had asked the court to end the conservatorship with no further medical or psychological evaluations of Spears, which was granted.
Afterward, Spears tweeted, “I think I’m gonna cry the rest of the day !!!! Best day ever.”
