Jamie Spears has agreed to step down from his 13-year role as conservator of his daughter Britney’s estate.
This has been said to be a major victory according to the poo star’s attorney in what he called a “major victory” on Thursday.
“We are pleased that Mr Spears and his lawyer have today conceded in a filing that he must be removed,” the singer’s lawyer Mathew Rosengart said in a statement.
Spears has controlled much of his daughter’s affairs since she suffered a mental health breakdown in 2008 but now agreed to step aside in court documents filed on Thursday.
Thursday’s court document did not say when Jamie Spears would step down from his role in handling his daughter’s $60 million estate and said that he felt there were no grounds for immediately removing or suspending him.
Britney Spears, 39, remains under the care of professional Jodi Montgomery, who mangers her medical and personal affairs. The nature of the singer’s mental health issues have never been publicly revealed.
Thursday’s court document said Jamie Spears has always had his daughter’s best interests at heart and has not coerced her to do anything.
“Mr Spears has tried to do everything in his power to accommodate Ms Spears’ wishes, whether regarding her personal life, family, or career, while fulfilling his duties and obligations as conservator”, the document said in pard
