Print In Los Angeles probate court on Thursday, attorneys for Britney Spears and her father did not address the question Spears’ fervent fans want answered: Why does the pop star still remain under a court-appointed conservatorship? The question, long asked by #FreeBritney advocates and dissected in FX and Hulu’s buzzy new documentary, “Framing Britney Spears,” appeared to have little bearing on Thursday’s court proceedings to determine the ins and outs of the “Toxic” singer’s day-to-day activities and finances. Instead, the court-appointed attorney for the singer, Samuel Ingham III, and her father’s attorney, Vivian Lee Thoreen, quibbled over details of the arrangement: who would be allowed to make investments on behalf of the successful entertainer — her father, James “Jamie” Spears, or the fiduciary, Bessemer Trust, which was recently appointed as a coconservator of Spears’ nearly $58-million estate. In the end, the judge decided that it was Bessemer’s responsibility — a small victory for Spears, 39, to untangle herself from her father.
