        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Britney Spears told a court this week that her decade long conservatorship was voluntary.</p><p>The conservatorship &#8212; known in other states as legal guardianship &#8212; has been in place for the past 12 years and dictates the 38-year-old singer&#8217;s legal and professional life, under the supervision of a conservator, which, in her case, has mostly been her father, Jamie Spears.</p><p>After the conservatorship was <strong>extended last month</strong>, it was revealed that the singer&#8217;s sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, was <strong>named the trustee of the “SJB Revocable Trust,”</strong> which was initially set to protect the pop star and her children’s finances, according to court documents. Her sister had reportedly asked for Spears&#8217; trust to be relocated, as she is the trustee.</p><p>Now according to new documents, the &#8220;Toxic&#8221; singer asked the court to appoint Bessemer Trust Company, N.A. to serve as conservator of her estate. The company would control the Spears&#8217; finances and control the power of attorney for her medical health decisions and musical career.</p><p>“This is a voluntary conservatorship. Conservatee wishes to exercise her right to nominate a conservator of the estate&#8230;,” her attorney, Samuel Ingham III, wrote in a Monday filing obtained by <strong>Entertainment Tonight</strong>.</p><p>The court documents also say Spears &#8220;wishes to exercise her right to nominate a conservator of the estate under Probate Code section 1810.&#8221;</p><p>The documents further state that the singer does not have a developmental disability, nor is she a patient in or on leave of absence from a state institution under the jurisdiction of the California Department of State Hospitals or the California Department of Developmental Services.</p><p>Last month, Britney &#8220;<strong>strongly opposed&#8221; </strong>her father continuing as the sole conservator of her estate.&#8221; She &#8220;strongly prefers&#8221; to have a qualified corporate fiduciary appointed to serve in that role, according to the new filing.</p><p>Britney&#8217;s complex conservatorship concerned her fans, who believed that her father had taken control of his daughter&#8217;s assets. The singer&#8217;s devotees fueled the #FreeBritney viral campaign to release her from her father&#8217;s legal and professional control.</p><p>Jamie Spears&#8217; <strong>denied the allegations</strong>, saying &#8220;I have to report every nickel and dime spent to the court every year,” he said. “How the hell would I steal something?”</p><p>A hearing on the matter, which Spears said she&#8217;ll attend, is scheduled for Nov. 10.</p>]]></content:encoded>
