Britney Spears has officially requested that a judge strip her father, Jamie Spears of his powers over her career. She nominated a certified public account to replace him as conservator of her estate.
According to the July 26 petition obtained by E! News, the singer and her lawyer have filed legal documents to officially remove Jamie as the conservator of her estate nominating professional fiduciary Jason Rubin to be her new financial conservator.
The court document reveals that Britney currently has $2.7 million in cash assets and $54.7 million in non-cash assets, making her estate worth $57.4 million.
Britney's lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, requested that Jason receive the powers to manage her business deals, make investments for her, and be given power of attorney.
Jason shall be granted "additional powers," including being able to authorize her professional opportunities (such as performing, recording, videos, tours, and tv shows), as long as the conservator of her person and her medical team approve.
Other powers include permission to: "take all actions necessary" to secure her estate; revoke powers of attorney including making health care decisions and managing real estate; maintain litigation about Britney, including prosecuting civil harassment restraining orders; deal with Britney's taxes and accounts and hire attorneys, accountants, agents, and employees and pay their expenses.
Jason said in the filing he had no prior relationship with Britney before "this matter."
The petition for appointment reads, "Ms. Spears respectfully submits that the Court should appoint her nominee... it is an objectively intelligent preference to nominate a highly qualified, professional fiduciary in this circumstance. Moreover, Ms. Spears respectfully submits that, given the Court's recognition at July 14, 2021, hearing that Ms. Spears has sufficient capacity to choose her own legal counsel, she likewise has sufficient capacity to make this nomination."
Britney's temporary conservator of her person, Jodi Montgomery, is approved in her role through Oct. 8. Jodi's security concerns were a topic of discussion during a court hearing on July 26, for which E! News was present. However, Brit's lawyer Mathew requested the conversation be continued at another time because they're still working on coming to an agreement.
After the court hearing, he said in a statement to reporters, "Less than two weeks ago, we pledged that after 13 years of the status quo, my firm and I would move aggressively and expeditiously to file a petition to suspend and remove James P. Spears... We have done so, in less than two weeks. We look forward to litigating the matter in court."
The attorney also thanked his client, saying, "I once again want to thank Britney Spears for her courage and her fortitude. I want to thank her fans who've been incredibly supportive of her on social media and otherwise, throughout the country, throughout the world. And she deserves it and she appreciates it."
The artist will attend her hearing on Sept. 29. Media channels are reaching out to the attorneys for additional comments on the matter.
