Quote: “It could have been that she never asked” about her rights, celebrity divorce lawyer Peter M. Walzer said, noting that it was “impossible to know” the relationship between a lawyer and a client. “She might not have trusted the attorney the court appointed. Typically, conservatorship over a person is more restrictive than one over an estate,” said international family law attorney Peter M. Walzer, and there’s no reason Spears shouldn’t continue to have a firm such as Bessemer Trust oversee her money. Jodi Montgomery is the fiduciary temporarily overseeing her person. But, Walzer added, “There’s no reason her father should be a co-conservator with Bessemer if she objects. … A lot of people have problems with their parents controlling them.”
