Big Time Conservatorship: Britney Spears.

By Jennifer Sawday

Judge Reva Goetz in Department 9 at Los Angeles Superior Court, Central Courthouse granted a temporary conservatorship over Britney Spears on Friday, February 1, 2008. It is known that a conservatorship naming her father to manage her finances was granted. It is not clear if powers were granted to also make medical decisions by her father or another person.

Conservatorships are granted where there is a good showing that an individual is unable to properly care for themselves financially and/or medically.

The attorneys at Tredway, Lumsdaine & Doyle often appear before Judge Goetz on probate, trust and conservatorship matters. It is interesting to hear about our regular lives as attorneys intersect with those of celebrities especially in Los Angeles.
