Following Larry's resignation, the singer's lawyer, Samuel Ingham III, filed court documents asking to be dismissed as her counsel. "Samuel D. Ingham III hereby resigns as court-appointed counsel for Britney Jean Spears, conservatee, effective upon the appointment of new court-appointed counsel," the court filings read, according to Variety.
Britney's conservator, Jodi Montgomery, also released a statement to People saying she has no plans of stepping down as the singer's conservator. "She remains committed to steadfastly supporting Ms. Spears in every way she can within the scope of her duties as a conservator of the person," Jodi's lawyer Lauriann Wright said in a statement. "Ms. Spears as recently as yesterday has asked Ms. Montgomery to continue to serve. Ms. Montgomery will continue to serve as a conservator for as long as Ms. Spears and the Court desire her to do so."
A day later, Britney's mother Lynne Spears filed a petition for permission for the singer to hire her own lawyer. "Her capacity is certainly different today than it was in 2008, and Conservatee should no longer be held to the 2008 standard, whereby she was found to 'not have the capacity to retain counsel,'" the filing reportedly read.
