Britney Spears loses bid to remove father's control over her estate

Los Angeles court has rejected an attempt by Britney Spears to have her father removed as conservator of her estate, but didn’t close the door on ousting him at a future date and — per the singer’s request — appointed a financial fiduciary as a co-conservator, LA Times reports. Jamie Spears has been his daughter's legal guardian for 12 years, due to concerns about her mental health. Britney Spears' attorney said in court she fears her father and will not resume her career so long as he has power over it.
