A Los Angeles Judge, Brenda Penny said, “Effectivetoday, the conservatorship of the person and the estate of Britney Jean Spearsis hereby terminated."
This conservatorship has made Britney Spearsto go through a lot in her life for more than a decade. She was unable to havecontrol over her $60 million estate and from making decisions abouther life.
Her father Jamie said that thisconservatorship was necessary for Britney. Her lawyers said, "Her life wasin shambles and she was in physical, emotional, mental and financial distress.”
