Britney Spears Wants Her Conservatorship Case to Be Open to the Public

Earlier this week, Britney Spears and her legal counsel, Samuel D. Ingham III, requested that several changes be made to her conservatorship and to have the details of the arrangement made available to the public. Spears's financial information is "already protected," People reports, and "there are no medical issues at all in a conservatorship of the estate, nor are her children involved in any way." That detail should satisfy the #FreeBritney movement, which wants as much information as possible regarding Spears's situation.

"Britney is strongly opposed to her father continuing as sole conservator of her estate. Rather, without in any way waiving her right to seek termination of this conservatorship in the future, she strongly prefers to have a qualified corporate fiduciary appointed to serve in this role," the court filings state, according to People.

Spears suggested that Bessemer Trust Company of California, N.A. handle her case. If the judge approves, the wealth management and investment advisory firm would oversee Spears's finances and have power of attorney for her health and career. Spears state that she wants the trust to have "power and authorization to pursue opportunities related to professional commitments and activities including but not limited to performing, recording, videos, tours, TV shows, and other similar activities as long as they are approved by the conservator of the person and [her] medical team." People adds that Spears's mother, Lynne Spears, supports the decision.

The filing also clarifies that spears does not have a developmental disability and that she is not a "patient in or on leave of absence from a state institution under the jurisdiction of the California Department of State Hospitals or the California Department of Developmental Services." 

As for making the filings public, Spears's team stated that it was in the best interest of her fans.

"Britney strongly believes it is consistent not only with her personal best interests but also with good public policy generally that the decision to appoint a new conservator of her estate be made in as open and transparent a manner as possible," Ingham's filing reads.

While many fans believe that Spears and her team are trying to hide details and keep them away from the truth, Ingham insists that Spears is aware of fans' wishes, the #FreeBritney movement, and her situation.

"At this point in her life when she is trying to regain some measure of personal autonomy, Britney welcomes and appreciates the informed support of her many fans," the filing states. "Britney herself is vehemently opposed to this effort by her father to keep her legal struggle hidden away in the closet as a family secret."
