Jamie Spears was conservator on Britney Spears’ estate for 13 years, and Variety reports that Judge Brenda Penny’s ruling means an immediate suspension of her father from her conservatorship, with accountant John Zabel replacing him in control of her estate and financial decisions for the time being.
The attorney for Jamie Spears reportedly objected, calling Zabel a “stranger” on the conservatorship case.
Britney Spears previously suggested somebody else entirely to take over conservatorship after her father, so perhaps the case could go in that direction next.
The next steps have yet to be officially determined, so Zabel is a temporary conservator.
