Britney Spears has officially filed a petition to remove her father Jamie Spears as conservator of her estate – with a proposed replacement.
According to documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court Monday and obtained by USA TODAY, Spears, through her legal team led by attorney Mathew Rosengart, asks to replace her father as conservator with Jason Rubin, a certified public accountant based in Woodland Hills, California.
Given the court s recognition that Britney has sufficient capacity to choose her own legal counsel, she likewise has sufficient capacity to make this nomination, reads the petition, citing the pop star s July 14 hiring of Rosengart in place of her previous court-appointed attorney.
