Britney Spears asks for trust company to take over conservatorship: report
The singer is reportedly 'strongly opposed' to her father acting as sole conservator
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Britney Spears has made another move to seemingly distance her father Jamie from her conservatorship.
For more than a decade, Spears has been under a conservatorship, meaning that her finances and daily life are under the supervision of a conservator, which, in her case, mostly has been her father.
After the conservatorship was extended last month, it was revealed that the 38-year-old pop star's sister Jamie Lynn had reportedly asked for Spears' trust to be relocated, as she is the trustee.

The musician reportedly suggested such a solution when she stated that she was "strongly opposed" to her father resuming his duties as her sole conservator.

The documents describe the conservatorship as "voluntary," but that Spears now "wishes to exercise her right to nominate a conservator of the estate under Probate Code section 1810."

Jamie is rumored to have been suppressive in his control over his daughter's assets, leaving the public speculating whether he's taken any finances from the global superstar for himself, prompting the #FreeBritney movement.
He's denied such allegations, explaining that he is required to "report every nickel and dime spent to the court every year."
