Jamie Spears, the father of Grammy-winning singer Britney Spears, has shared that he is ready to step down as custodian of his daughter’s estate.
According to the latest court filing (August 12), obtained by E! News, Jamie has agreed to remove himself as the custodian of his estate “when the time is right,” holding the position ever since the singer’s public outcry in 2008 following several mental breaks from his conservatism. had begun.
In the documents, Jamie’s legal team has stated that “there is no real basis for suspending or removing Mr Spears,” but that he is willing to step aside in the future to avoid a “fight” with his daughter.
The statement further read, “It is highly debated whether a change in patronage at this time would be in the best interest of Ms. Spears. Nevertheless, even though Mr. Spears is a constant target of unwarranted attacks, she does not believe that a public Fighting with his daughter over his continued service will be in his best interest as his mentor.”
“Therefore even though he must fight this unfair plea for his eviction, Mr. Spears intends to work with the Court and his daughter’s new attorney to prepare for a systematic transition to a new guardian,” the statement said. continued.
I! News reported that the matter is expected to be discussed and “likely finalized” at a court hearing on September 29.
Reportedly, with the help of her new lawyer—Matthew Rosengart—the 39-year-old songwriter will be freed from Jamie’s legal control over his career.
Brittany’s father served as the custodian of her estate and person for over a decade, but, in 2019, she temporarily stepped down as her person’s manager due to her own health issues. Jodi Montgomery has temporarily replaced him for the past two years.
At her court hearing last month, Britney gave a scathing testimony in which a judge accused her father of abusing stereotypes because he was “ruining” her life and she wanted to get rid of him.
She said in her testimony, “I want her to be investigated. This stereotype has allowed my father to ruin my life.”
According to E! News, on July 26, Britney’s new attorney-attorney Matthew Rosengart petitioned official court to remove Jamie as the custodian of the songstress’ assets.
On a related note, the “Gimme More” singer named professional fiduciary and certified public accountant Jason Rubin as custodian of her estate, to replace her father.
After the big news emerged that Jamie intended to step down as Britney’s estate custodian, the singer’s lawyer, Matthew, released a statement on August 12 that read, “I announced in court on July 14 that, the status quo 13 years after, it was time for Mr. Spears to be suspended or removed as mentor and my firm and I would move aggressively and quickly to that outcome.”
According to E! News, Matthews said he filed papers for Jamie to be suspended.
“Based on strong, insurmountable legal grounds that were explicitly supported by the law and by all parties involved, including Jodie Montgomery, Britney Spears and their medical team,” the statement added.
Matthews said: “We are delighted that Mr. Spears and her attorney have acknowledged in a filing today that she should be fired. This is true for Britney. However, we are deeply moved by her ongoing shameful and reprehensible attacks on Ms. Spears and her husband.” Disappointed. Others.”
Jamie’s team also shared a statement ahead of Jamie’s response to the petition.
Her team wrote that Brittany was “in crisis” and “in dire need of help” when conservation began.
“Not only was she suffering mentally and emotionally, but she was also being molested by poachers and in financial trouble. Mr. Spears came to her rescue to save her daughter. Mr. Spears has always done what she needs to do. Seems to be in the best interest of his daughter,” the statement read.
I! The News reported that according to Jamie, the Guardianship saved the ‘Toxic’ artist from “disaster”, but “a lot has changed recently” as he has “voiced a desire to end Patronus.”
The legal document further states that Brittany’s father should not be suspended or removed “and is certainly not based on false allegations.” Instead, he is “willing to step down when the time is right.”
The statement read, “There is a need to settle the transition and include the resolution of cases pending before the Court,” and it asks the judge to decline Brittany’s plea to remove it.
On a related note, Jamie had previously requested the court to investigate his daughter’s allegations that he had leveled against her in testimony.
Jamie’s attorney, Vivian Thorin, acknowledged Brittany’s “anguishness” during a court statement in June, saying he was “sorry” to see her “in so much pain” because he “loves his daughter,” according to E.K. Pursuance! news.
During a recent hearing, Brittany also expressed that if she couldn’t eliminate the stereotype, she at least wanted to “take her father out of guardianship completely”.
