The objections raised by the lawyer of James Spears, Vivian Thoreen, on how the co-curator would be delegated were rejected last Thursday, also, an objection raised by Thoreen called for James Spears to have the power to delegate investment powers, a topic that opened an almost endless debate between the two lawyers.

Ingham told the court that the nature of a co-curation is that the powers of James Spears as sole curator, appointed by the court in 2019, would be reduced, for his part Thoreen argued that court orders should be consistent with the 2019 order granting him sole guardianship.

“There is no intention or desire to create unequal power or decision-making between the two, your lordship,” Thoreen argued. “This is a way to make it consistent and not take away the powers that Mr. Spears had as a curator,” they mentioned.

Thoreen also denied a concern raised by Ingham that James Spears would delegate investment powers to a third party, stating that his client simply wanted “to be able to delegate investment decision-making authority to Bessemer,” they continued.

The objection was denied by the judge, and both James Spears and Bessemer Trust are expected to work together on a budget and an investment proposal for Britney Spears’ estate after Thursday’s hearing.

“My client expects to work with Bessemer to pursue an investment strategy in the best interest of her daughter,” Thoreen said in a statement after the hearing.

“My client Jamie Spears has diligently and professionally fulfilled her duties as one of Britney’s guardians, and her love for her daughter and her dedication to protecting her is clearly evident to the court,” the statement says.
