Her Parents’ Conservatorship Over Her
In response to the incident, Britney’s parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears, petitioned for a conservatorship to be established to manage her affairs. The conservatorship was granted in 2008, with Jamie Spears appointed as the conservator of both Britney’s estate and her person. At the time, the conservatorship was seen as a way to protect Britney from further harm and to ensure that her finances and personal affairs were managed responsibly. But over time, concerns began to mount about the extent of the control that Jamie and others had over Britney’s life.
