LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
It’s official – Britney Spears is no longer in control of herself.
Court papers were filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, making a judge’s October ruling (which made the conservatorship over Britney permanent) official.
The conservatorship over the pop star legally began on January 5, 2009.
The agreement gives permanent control of the pop star’s finances to her father, Jamie Spears, along with attorney Andrew Wallet. While Jamie is sole conservator over Britney’s personal matters.
In the papers pertaining to Britney’s financial matters, it states Britney “is substantially unable to manage … her financial resources or to resist fraud or undue influence.”
When it comes to control over Britney, herself, the papers state the star “is unable properly to provide for his or her personal needs for physical health, food, clothing, or shelter.”
The personal order also gives Jamie Spears “the power to restrict and limit visitors by any means.”
When Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz granted Jamie Spears a permanent conservatorship over his daughter on October 28, 2008, a court-appointed attorney for Spears said the singer did not object to the arrangement.
Britney was not present in court on Monday, and instead was represented by attorney Sam Ingham.
