Jamie Spears has been granted a permanent conservatorship over his daughter, Britney Spears, personal and financial affairs. The temporary conservatorship was set to expire December 31 but Britney didn’t have any objections to her father remaining in control.

“The court finds the proposed permanent conservatorship is necessary and appropriate [because of the] complexities of her financial and business entities and also potential for her being susceptible to influences,” said Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz, who has been presiding over the case.

The arrangements don’t have to last forever but will remain intact until Spears is ready to take back control of her life. This will also prevent everyone from having to renew the temporary status over and over again.
