Britney's Estate Under Temporary Conservatorship

A Los Angeles court commissioner has placed Britney Spears and her estate under temporary conservatorship.
Britney Spears
That means her financial assets and other holdings will be managed by a conservator -- the conservators are Jamie Spears and attorney Andrew Wallet.

The judge did not appoint a conservator to make medical decisions on behalf of Brit because the necessary paperwork was not filed.

As for the conservatorship that was filed -- it is only temporary -- until Monday.


A conservatorship is created when it is deemed that a person cannot care for themselves or handle his or her own affairs.

47. Does this mean she has to go to her daddy when she wants a frapp?

48. I sorta kinda feel bad for her now. I mean I didn't a while back, I just thought she was just being another spoiled celebrity but she obviously needs medical help and I hope this time she finally gets it. She does need to be commited cause she is not sane in anyway and I also believe that the constant hounding by the paps has a lot to do with it. Not saying she really doesn't bring it apon herself because she never just stays home but honestly there are to many people in her life being enablers. It's about g'damn time that her parents start acting like parents and try to help her. I have never been a fan of hers, I actually think she has very little talent if any at all but I would never wish what she is going through now to my worst enemy. I did think she needed to lose custody of her children but hopefully if she gets help she can one day regain custody or at the very least get visitation. Good Luck Brit!

49. 38. But what does Dr. Phil think?

We need to know what an unlicensed quack would do in a situation like this.

However you feel about him, he IS licensed. Just not in California.

51. Hats off to the judge....a California Court who respects the rights of family to make positive decisions at a time of grave need and reality on behalf of their daughter and her children! Once Britney Spears is whole, again, she will respect her parents in a way she has been unable to do for sometime. Hoping this will save her life so one day she can be a competent mother and enjoy great years ahead on behalf of her adorable children.

Get the locks to her home changed and an accounting of all resources ASAP! If he begins to publish information held over her head, release the attorneys to take care of his future!

52. Jamie Spears won temporary conservatorship over daughter Britney today in a Los Angeles court decision. He has been granted power over her entire estate, as well as a civil restraining harrassment order against her sometime manager Sam Lutfi.

Jamie will now have control over Britney's medical treatment, her business and liquid assets, has the power to send a security guard to remove someone from her house and change the locks, can restrict and limit visitors at the hospital, and also approve and retain security guards and caretakers at the hospital.

The matter will be heard again on Monday, February 4.

California trusts and estates attorney Bill Hoehler tells PageSix.com that when an emergency conservatorship like this is granted, it would mean that the disabled person is an imminent threat to herself and/or her own financial wellbeing.

Damn a restraining order too, you go dad!

54. His eye's were bloody red the night she was admitted on the second 5150. I Feel for this family who are under excruciating pressure.

Brit your family is not interested in your money or the custody of there grand children they are in fear for you there baby girl. I keep this family in my prayers. I cant even imagine how heart breaking this must be and we only know a 1/8 of what happens behind closed doors.

55. If her dad is so great, where has he been this whole time.

56. They should just fake her death, relocate her to a different hospital, get her better and let her start her life over some where else. With her kids of course.

57. So in summary - Britney's parents filed the necessary paperwork to
ensure that her WEALTH was taken care of, but failed to file any
paperwork that would ensure that her HEALTH was taken care of?

And the people who finally got her competent psychiatric treatment
were her LAWYERS (who, just a few weeks ago, were trying to terminate
their representation)?

You know, maybe Britney's not so crazy after all - maybe the only
people who truly care about her ARE papparazzi!!

God help this poor girl, who has it all - and still has nothing.

58. Cool Girl - You crack me up! LMAO

59. AMEN! IM GLAD IT HER FATHER IS NOW RESPONSABLE, AS HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO ACTUALLY WORKS FOR A LIVING AND DOESNT LIVE OFF HIS DAUGHTER. AND THE GOOD THING IS THAT THERE IS A COURT APPOINTED LAWYER. I AM SURE HE WILL SECURE BRITNEY'S HOUSE, GET RIDS OF THE LEECHES AND START AN INVESTIGATION INTO HER FINANCES AND HOW THEY HAVE BEEN HANDLED. IM SO GLAD THESE LEECHES WILL SOON START TO CREEP BACK INTO THE WOODWORK. I HOPE SHE IS CORRECTLY DIAGNOSED IF SHE IS BIPOLAR AND THAT SHE WILL STICK WITH HER DOCTORS UNTIL THEY FIND THE RIGHT COMBINATION OF MEDS. I MYSLEF AM BIPOLAR AND I KNOW ITS A LONG HAUL AND ITS TRIAL AND ERROR.

BUT SHE HAS MADE DISPLAYS OF SOME BIPOLAR CHARACTERISTICS FROM WAY BACK, IT CANT BE BLAMED ON KFED, WE CANT FORGET HER LAS VEGAS 55 HR MARRIAGE, NOR HER UNFAITHFULLNESS TO JUSTIN. REGARDLESS, I HAVE TO SAY THAT THESE MEN (KEVIN AND JUSTIN) HAVE ACTED LIKE GENTLEMEN DURING ALL OF THIS BY NOT UTTERING A WORD. I THINK JUSTIN IS AWARE THAT SHE HAS PROBLEMS AND THAT KEVIN MUST HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH A TOUGH TIME. I REMEMBER THE WAY JUSTIN ACKNOWLEDGED KEVIN AT A RED CARPET EVENT.

I HOPE, FOR THE BOYS SAKE THAT SHE STAYS ON THIS COURSE OF TRYING TO GET WELL AND STICK TO IT. THEY NEED A MOM AS MUCH AS A DAD.
