Britney Spears’ Conservatorship Terminated After 13 Years, Finally Giving Freedom to Pop Star

Congratulations to Britney Spears as she is no longer being controlled by her father under a conservatorship. “The court finds and determines that the conservatorship of the person and the Estate of Britney Jean Spears is no longer required,” Judge Brenda Penny ruled on Friday afternoon.

The Nov. 12 hearing was brief and ran smoothly as all parties consented to the termination. The pop star was not present at the hearing.

The singer’s attorney, Mathew Rosengart, began speaking to the judge by reading from his client’s testimony that she delivered back in June, stating that her wish is for the conservatorship to end without evaluation. “The record is clear,” said Rosengart. “The time has come today.”

“We have engaged in an orderly transition of power,” Rosengart explained. ‘The conservatorship is fully terminated, but accountant John Zabel, who replaced Spears’ father Jamie following his suspension, will have “limited and administrative power” as part of the termination plan.

Additional hearings have been set for Dec. 8 and Jan. 19.
