What is conservatorship?

The documentary reveals that back in 2008, Britney suffered what appeared to be a very public breakdown. The star had been portraying a series of odd behaviours, as a result of which she was placed on a psychiatric hold at a Los Angeles hospital for an evaluation. At that time, her father Jamie Spears, petitioned for "temporary" conservatorship, arguing that Britney was in no state to care for herself and the matters of her life. A report in USA Today reveals that Conservatorship is a legal concept in the United States, wherein a guardian or a protector is appointed by a judge to manage the financial affairs and/or daily life of another due to physical or mental limitations. A person under conservatorship is a "conservatee". The conservatorship granted Jamie Spears the legal right to oversee and control most aspects of her life, from her health and business decisions to her personal life.
