Celebrity Justice
Brit's Conservators Can Shut Down Sam

The conservators who were appointed to manage Britney's assets have broad authority, including changing the locks to her house and keeping out anyone they want -- we're guessin' that's Sam Lutfi.

The judge granted the conservators -- Jamie Spears and a lawyer co-conservators -- have the power to hire 24-hour security at her house, access her medical records and communicate with treating physicians.

They also have the power to make any decisions on her behalf, and can revoke any contracts she may have made recently -- which might include the new Mercedes she just bought.

35. SORRY BUT I DON'T FIND THIS THE GOOD NEWS YOU ALL APPEAR TO THINK IT TO BE - 1) HER FATHER WAS MIFFED AT NOT GETTING BRIT'S INCOME AND THAT ONLY HER MOTHER GOT IT! 2) THESE FAR RANGING POWERS MEAN WHEN BRIT DOES COME OUT SHE MAY NOT HAVE A THING OR ANYONE TO COME BACK TO! 3) K-FED IS IN WITH THE SPEARS SO I GUESS HE'LL BE GETTING A BIG PAYOFF BY MOMMA LYNNE 4) ON LEARNING ALL OF THIS IT COULD ACTUALLY SET BRIT BACK AND MAKE HER MORE DETERMINED TO REBUFF HER FAMILY 5) BY GOING FOR ALL THIS THEY'RE MAKING SURE BRIT CAN'T DO A THING WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT - SOMETHING TO MAKE HER MORE SUICIDAL THAN LIKELY TO COMPLY AND FALL IN WITH THEIR DEMANDS!
EVEN IF THIS WAS DONE WITH GOOD INTENT THEY HAVE TAKEN AWAY THE ONE PERSON WHO MANAGED TO GET BRIT TO GO WILLINGLY FOR TREATMENT, HER FAMILY HAVE USED AND EXPLOITED HER FOR YEARS SO NOW THEY'RE JUST MAKING SURE THEIR RETIREMENT MONEY DOESN'T GO ASTRAY. THESE POWERS ARE TOO FAR RANGING AND TOO OPEN TO ABUSE, IMAGINE YOURSELF IN THE SAME POSITION BECAUSE THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU TOO. IF THIS FAMILY FAIL TO ALLOW BRIT ACCESS TO SAM, THIS MAY TURN INTO A MEGA TRAGEDY AFTER ALL BECAUSE HE DIDN'T LET HER DOWN UNLIKE HER SPONGING FAMILY & K-FED, HE GOT HER TO ACCEPT HELP! THEIR BARRING OF HIM MAY JUST UNDO ALL THE GOOD JUST ACHIEVED BY GETTING HER TO ACCEPT HELP!
PLEASE DON'T HARP ON ABOUT HER PARENTS LOVE FOR HER, SHE IS JUST THEIR MEAL TICKET, THEY TRULY DON'T LIVE IN A MATERNAL CARING WORLD OR THEIR DAUGHTERS WOULD NOT BE IN THE TROUBLE THEY'RE IN NOW. DAD JAIMIE MAY BE BETTER THAN LYNNE SPEARS BUT NOT BY MUCH OR HE WOULD NEVER ALLOWED A CHILD AS MUCH HIS AS HERS TO BE SO EXPLOITED BY HER MOTHER!
LETS HOPE TMZ NEXT UPDATE ISN'T ABOUT A SUICIDE CAUSED BY THIS FAMILY'S FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND THEIR DAUGHTERS NEEDS AND TO ALLOW HER TO GET TREATMENT UNHINDERED BY THEIR OWN AGENDA AND THEIR HATRED OF SAM. IT'S NOT AS UNLIKELY AS YOU MAY THINK BUT HEY HER ASSETS WILL ALL HAVE BEEN SAVED AND THEY'LL ALL GO TO WHO? YEAH, HER BADASS FAMILY!!

38. Even if they get rid of Sam she'll find someone else to supply her meth and hold it for her when she gets out.

39. Thank Gawd! This is a good thing! Watch out paparazi's! I saw on the news last night that West Hollywood city council is about to place a saftey ordeniance (spelling?) against you guys so better be prepared to get a ticket or go to jail! I certainly hope the Brit does go back to Louisiana and get herself together for herself & her boys. NO ONE (famous or not) deserves to be stalked & takin advantage from leeches like Osama. I have a question - where is Adnen??? Did he get deported??? He's no where near by.... Makes you wonder where the heck he's at???

40. Finally! A judge with some courage! The "manager" and the photographer "boyfriend" need to stay away from this girl before she is no more!

41. First go get the car Osama Adnan is driving - tow it away right out from under his ugly ass and any Sam a.k.a Howard Stern Jr is driving too.

42. # 33 -
Do you really think that the family are the wolf here?
Britney's downward spiral picked up speed when:
1. Sam entered this "role" in her life
2. Her parents were pushed out of her life.............. (he probably started the Lynne-bashing then, not just the last 2 days)...

Britney is in dire need, notonly of a correct medical diagnosis. but TLC.
She's been suffering from K-fed's crap, loneliness, intrusion AND THE REST. And having people like SAM go along with bad ideas meant that it all just got worse - SAM wasnt going to do right by her, because by being a YES-MAN he made sure he got his wages (and the parties and the Hollywood life). And now he want's press too - like every other "friend" in her life.

The "temporary" control means they can ensure they get the best help for her, and to make sure people like SAM don't abuse their position. Is there any one else that will do better for her???
Anyway. Its reported that the Spears hatched the plan. And that he was the one that was agreeable to her resisting in the past. How do we know the truth anyway?!


Her parents aren't going to be cashing in so easily - they have to make decisions for HER own good with her estate. Legally. And there is a co-conservator - a lawyer - who also has a legal duty to do right by Britney.
Rather have the family in temp control than Sam.

=====================

GO TEAM SPEARS.
HERE'S HOPING BRITNEY IS NOT TOO RESISTANT TO THIS AND RECOGNISES THAT IT'S BEST!

45. I am also a Legal Conservator for a severely disabled adult child, who is also an L.A. County Resident. Financial Accounting Reports are made to the L.A. County Superior Court. Much legal oversight takes place during any Conservatorship, I also have an attorney to deal with my daughters financial matters. Jamie Spears DOES NOT have "carte blanche" with Britney's assets. Her assets ARE SAFE. With conservator(s) being appointed it is a triple-fiduciary responsibility regarding Britney's assets: the Conservators, Jamie Spears and Attorney Wallet, agree to manage the assets and the County of Los Angeles Probate Court will oversee the matter. The first thing they'll do, once the order is made longer, is an audit of her finances. Then, they'll "clear-away" any and all spending / debts that are suspicious... i.e.: Lutfi, Adnan, and the various hangers-on and assorted leeches.

They also must act in her "best interests." They are not going to willy-nilly release medical records to the public. They would be HAMMERED by the court. And this being Britney Spears assets we're talking about here? This will come under a microscope.
