The court extended the conservator role of Britney Spears'
father on Thursday, leaving him in control of the troubled pop
singer's well-being and her estimated 100 million U.S. dollar
fortune until the next hearing slated for Mar. 10, media
reported.
Jamie Spears was granted "temporary conservatorship" over his
26-year-old daughter's affairs some two weeks ago when she was in a
Los Angeles hospital for psychiatric evaluation.
L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz also named Britney's
brother Bryan, 30, as a trustee of her trust, granting him
influence over her day-to-day expenses.
After more than a year of bizarre behavior in which she divorced
Kevin Federline and lost custody of her two young sons, Britney
Spears was put in a psychiatric hospital twice in January and under
a repeatedly extended temporary conservatorship since the beginning
of February.
Last week Jamie and Lynne Spears, Britney's mother, said in a
statement they believed "her life is presently at risk," and in
court documents they claimed her self-styled manager, Sam Lutfi,
"drugged Britney" and controlled her life.
