Britney Spears’ lawyer is planning to file a petition requesting to make the singer’s temporary conservator permanent.
Jodi Montgomery was made the singer’s “care manager” and temporary conservator after Britney’s father Jamie stepped down from the role in 2019 due to health issues.
In a hearing on Wednesday, Britney’s court-appointed attorney Samuel D. Ingham III said that he will be filing a petition asking that Montgomery is made the permanent conservator of the Toxic star’s person.
It remains unclear as to whether or not Montgomery’s role would also extend to Britney’s estate – Jamie and the Bessemer Trust currently oversee the mother-of-two’s estate.
The petition will be addressed at another hearing on 27 April. In the meantime, Jamie and Bessemer Trust have been tasked with working alongside Ingham to come up with an accurate list of assets and holdings, and details of where money was spent.
