LOS ANGELES - Britney Spears has figured out who she'd like to have as her father's replacement in the conservatorship.
First reported by TMZ, the singer and her lawyer filed documents requesting that Jason Rubin be named as conservator of Spears' estate. According to court documents obtained by FOX 11, Rubin "has significant experience managing trusts, estates and conservatorships, including complex portfolios for high net worth individuals, real estate and closely held (non-real estate) companies and other financial assets valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars."
However, all this is only possible if a judge grants the singer's request to remove her father Jamie Spears as conservator of her estate.
Monday's development comes as a hearing was held for Britney Spears' conservatorship.
