Britney Spears' Conservatorship Extended Until August amid Coronavirus Outbreak
Britney Spears will remain under a conservatorship through the summer, PEOPLE confirms.
According to new court documents, a Los Angeles County judge ordered on April 20 that the temporary conservatorship of the pop star, 38, be extended through Aug. 22.
Spears' longtime “care-manager” Jodi Montgomery will remain her temporary conservator. Montgomery took over the role in September from Spears' father, Jamie, 67, who stepped down after more than a decade as conservator due to "personal health reasons."
As conservator, Montgomery has the power to communicate with medical personnel regarding Spears and has access to any and all records regarding Spears' medical treatment, diagnosis and testing. She also has access to any and all records regarding Spears' psychiatric treatment, diagnosis and testing.
Spears was first placed under a conservatorship in 2008, with the court originally naming her father the permanent conservator of her affairs and attorney Andrew Wallet the permanent co-conservator of her estate.
The new extension was made because courthouses are closed due to the ongoing novel coronavirus, COVID-19, pandemic.
