Jamie Spears has agreed it’s time to step down as conservator of Britney‘s estate — he just said so in new legal docs — and he wants to work with the court on an orderly transition.
We’ve learned Jamie’s lawyer is filing legal docs in which he says, “There are, in fact, no actual grounds for suspending or removing Mr. Spears as the Conservator of the Estate … and it is highly debatable whether a change in conservator at this time would be in Ms. Spears’ best interests.”
And then, he lowers the boom … “Nevertheless, even as Mr. Spears is the unremitting target of unjustified attacks, he does not believe that a public battle with his daughter over his continuing service as her conservator would be in her best interests. So, even though he must contest this unjustified Petition for his removal, Mr. Spears intends to work with the Court and his daughter’s new attorney to prepare for an orderly transition to a new conservator.”
The docs go on to say, “Regardless of his formal title, Mr. Spears will always be Ms. Spears’ father, he will always love her unconditionally, and he will always look out for her best interests.”
He goes on to attack Lynne Spears, saying she has had little, if any, involvement in the conservatorship, let alone Britney’s life for the last 13 years. He says her credibility is undermined because Britney herself refused to even see Lynne when she was at a mental health facility in 2019.
He does say he essentially saved Britney when she was “in crisis, desperately in need of help” 13 years ago, adding, “Not only was she suffering mentally and emotionally, she was also being manipulated by predators and in financial distress. Mr. Spears came to his daughter’s rescue to protect her.”
He says he has never forced her to do anything, including performing.
We contacted Britney’s lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, and he was unmoved by Jamie’s decision to step down, telling TMZ … “We are pleased but not necessarily surprised that Mr. Spears and his lawyer finally recognize that he must be removed. We are disappointed, however, by their ongoing shameful and reprehensible attacks on Ms. Spears and others.”
Rosengart goes on … “We look forward to continuing our vigorous investigation into the conduct of Mr. Spears, and others, over the past 13 years, while he reaped millions of dollars from his daughter’s estate, and I look forward to taking Mr. Spears’s sworn deposition in the near future. In the interim, rather than making false accusations and taking cheap shots at his own daughter, Mr. Spears should step aside immediately.”
