The abuses are egregious to say the least. However, I’m only going to address them from a financial freedom perspective. In a conservatorship, a conservator is appointed to control the financial affairs (and in extreme cases like Britney’s the person’s daily life). This can be used as a positive for people to help family members with a disability, drug or alcohol addiction, or are otherwise incapable of making financial decisions for themselves. In an ideal world, everyone but have the best intentions in handling the financial affairs of a family member who just needed the help. However, we all know that this is not always the case. Britney Spears is the perfect example of how conservatorships can be used to take advantage of people. Because of her episode in 2007, her father Jamie Spears took charge of the conservatorship and made all decisions for her. If he was using the conservatorship moally, he could have ensured that Britney did not spend all her money on illegal substances and gotten her the help she needed. This limitation of financial freedom would’ve been justified as Britney was not in the right mind state to be making big decisions.However, he abused the authority the court gave him and has become very wealthy off of his daughter’s fame and talent. Conservatorships can be a complicated topic in economic policy. They can be used for good, but often times we only hear about them when they are used for bad. Regardless, laws need to change for those who were not capable of making their own decisions, but now are. The limitations on Britney’s financial freedom (not to mention ALL her other freedoms) have been grotesque and need to stop. #FreeBritney
