STATEMENT BY LAURIANN WRIGHT, WRIGHT KIM DOUGLAS, ALC,

ATTORNEY FOR JODI MONTGOMERY, TEMPORARY CONSERVATOR OF THE PERSON

June 30, 2021

“The conservatorship of the person for Britney Spears includes multiple layers of protection for Britney, including the Court, the court investigator which regularly updates the Court, her medical team, and my client, Jodi Montgomery.  In fact, conservatorships in California are subject to the strictest laws in the nation to protect against any potential abuses, including a licensing requirement for all professional fiduciaries.  Ms. Montgomery is a licensed private professional fiduciary who, unlike family members who serve as conservators, is required to follow a Code of Ethics which can be found here: https://govt.westlaw.com/calregs/Browse/Home/California/CaliforniaCodeofRegulations?guid=I474208F0D49111DEBC02831C6D6C108E&originationContext=documenttoc&transitionType=Default&contextData=(sc.Default)&bhcp=1. More information about California private professional fiduciaries can be found here: https://californiaconservatorshipfacts.com/. Private professional fiduciaries often serve in cases as a neutral decision-maker when there are complex family dynamics, as in this case.  As counsel, my firm and I serve as the liaison between Ms. Montgomery in her role as Conservator, and the Court, ensuring absolute compliance with the legal requirements of the Conservatorship.

I can state unequivocally that Jodi Montgomery has been a tireless advocate for Britney and for her well-being.  While she does not control Britney’s financial assets, she is responsible for her personal care, and if Britney wants any issue brought up to the Court, Ms. Montgomery is and has always been ready, willing, and able to do so.From the very beginning of her appointment in September 2019, Ms. Montgomery and the medical team that she assembled have had one primary goal – to assist and encourage Britney in her path to no longer needing a conservatorship of the person.

 

As to Britney’s right to marry, that is unaffected by the conservatorship under Probate Code §1900.  As to family planning, that is also unaffected by the conservatorship.  If Britney needs any assistance with either, Ms. Montgomery has and will be there to provide any assistance needed to Britney.  Britney’s choice to marry and to start a family have never been impacted by the conservatorship while Ms. Montgomery has been conservator of the person.

Since being appointed in September 2019, Ms. Montgomery has tirelessly acted in Britney’s best interests with the approval of her doctors and the oversight of the Court.  All of Ms. Montgomery’s fees and costs are approved by the Court, as required by law, after petitions setting forth her fees and costs in detail are filed with the Court in the public record.  To protect Britney’s medical privacy, portions of the time records contained in those petitions do have to be sealed.

Because Ms. Montgomery does not have any power or authority over the conservatorship of the estate, every expenditure made by Ms. Montgomery for Britney has had to be first approved by Jamie Spears as the conservator of the estate.  Some expenses are pre-approved, but if new services or an increase in existing services is sought, Mr. Spears has to approve that expenditure. Practically speaking, since everythingcosts money, no expenditures can happen without going through Mr. Spears and Mr. Spears approving them. Ms. Montgomery has advocated on Britney’s behalf for any expenditures that Britney has requested as well as for expenditures recommended by Britney’s medical team.  Not every requested expenditure has been approved.  Jamie Spears, as conservator of the estate, has a duty to make decisions in the best interests of the estate, and sometimes that has meant requested expenditures have been denied or limited.   

Ms. Montgomery’s tenure as conservator of the person beginning in September 2019 has been complicated by the Covid-19 pandemic.  Britney lives in the Southern California area, who has suffered some of the highest Covid rates in the country.  California’s state of emergency due to the pandemic started on March 4, 2020, with many restrictions not being lifted in the Los Angeles area until just weeks ago.  Britney is someone who was at an increased risk of severe illness due to preexisting conditions.  A well-renowned epidemiologist was brought onto the medical team and that doctor’s advice was followed to ensure Britney’s safety from exposure to the virus at all times.

While it is Ms. Montgomery’s professional duty to be Britney’s protector and advocate, honoring her wishes and seeing to her best interests while Britney is under conservatorship, it is her sincere personal wish that Britney continues to make meaningful progress in her well-being so that her conservatorship of the person can be terminated.  Ms. Montgomery looks forward to presenting a comprehensive Care Plan to the Court setting forth a path for termination of the conservatorship for Britney, and Ms. Montgomery looks forward to supporting Britney through that process.”

Glad we agree the thing needs to be terminated. Why is this so defensive? Just get to the point faster next time lol. The longer you drone on the more guilty you look.

This. I'm not buying any of these long *** statements until the termination request has been filed AND court date for it has been set. Until then they are just empty promises.

This whole statement seems to try covering Jodi Montgomery’s *** and, in the process, throws Jamie under the bus by implying the family doesn’t act by a code of conduct, and by saying most financial decisions go through Jamie. So any issues, since they’re financial, are Jamie’s fault and not hers.

[2K16NEY]

The shade of it all. It has officially become the War of the Conservators: Jodi v. Jamie. Too bad they are both incompetent and both guilty of forcing someone to do things against their will  Jail to them both  But I’ll give Round 1 to Jodi… because I live for Jamie shade  and I like that Jodi mentioned the termination of the personal conservatorship as something likely to occur… although lest we forget, Britney is asking for termination of both her personal and estate, mmk. 

[Onyxgirl17]

Oh wow…. At least this statement encourages Britney getting out of the c-ship.

She's going to do this to save face - these better not just be words and ACTUAL action.

[Onyxgirl17]

Also if the Conservatorship didn’t limit her family planning abilities, who is at fault for this? It happened under Jamie’s watch (when the IUD was put in). 

[MintChocoLatte]

So now they’re throwing **** at each other. 
and they’re trying to defend not letting Britney get her nails done by saying the medical team Jodie hired (oops) advised against it (lmao) because of “pre existing conditions”. So now we’re sharing Britney’s medical history?

Doesn’t matter. If Jamie was responsible for it being put in, why did Jodie not listen to Britney when she said she wants it out? Either she’s saying Britney lied or that Jamie didn’t approve it financially or both. This statement makes Jodie look really bad.
