The hearing comes a few months after Spears tried unsuccessfully to oust her father from the conservatorship role.

Jamie Spears has controlled his daughter's finances and personal affairs since she was admitted to hospital in 2008, as part of a contentious legal agreement.

The conservatorship - known as a guardianship in many US states - is normally a temporary measure for people with diminished ability who struggle to make decisions for themselves.

In November last year, the 39-year-old unsuccessfully tried to oust her father from the role - and the judge in that hearing named private wealth management firm the Bessemer Trust as a co-conservator instead.

At the time, her lawyer had said she was scared of her father and would not resume her singing career while he had power over it.

At a hearing in Los Angeles on Thursday, Mr Spears lost a bid for the right to delegate investment powers for the estate, which was worth $60m (£43m) as of last year.
