Conserva-Huh???

The following italicized article is from www.x17online.com:

you're like most of us here at X17, your reaction to the news of Lynne and Jamie Spears seeking conservatorship over their daughter Britney was basically "Huh?"

Well, we've just spoken with legal analyst Royal Oakes about just what conservatorship might mean for the pop princess -

Oakes explained that basically, conservatorship suits involve a party - usually the parents - suing for the legal power to take responsibility for someone else's medical care and financial holdings.

Conservatorship, however, can only be invoked when the individual in question is proven to be a danger to themselves or others.

In Britney's case, Oakes opined that her recent behavior behind the wheel would probably be cited as the principle evidence of Britney being a danger to herself.

By way of example, Oakes brought up a similar suit brought against former Beach Boy Brian Wilson by his brother Carl in the early 1990s after allegations were raised that Brian's controversial therapist Eugene Landy had tricked the singer into making him the main beneficiary of his will.

Oakes was also quick to point out that Britney does have the legal right to fight the order, although he made sure to point out that she'd need to present "medical evidence" to do so.

Apparently, it's pretty common for people to fight conservatorship suits, although Mr. Oakes presented the possibility that Britney might instead take her parents' actions as an opportunity to earnestly seek treatment.

Two people who won't be able to fight the suit, however, are Sam Lufti and Adnan Ghalib!

Mr. Oakes made it explicit that, in cases of conservatorship, "friend" figures like Sam and Adnan have no legal recourse. He did, however, point out that Sam and Adnan could be called as witnesses, where they'd be able to offer evidence supporting the claims of Britney being capable of looking after her own affairs.

So have we seen the last of Adnan and/or Sam? Guess that's up to the courts to decide - we'll keep you posted on what they say!
