Britney Spearsโ younger sister Jamie Lynn Spears has been named as a trustee to protect the singerโs fortune.
Court documents obtained by The Blast reveal 29-year-old actress Jamie Lynn was first named as an executor on Britneyโs SJB Revocable Trust in 2018.
While the 38-year-old singer is alive she is the โsole beneficiaryโ of the trust, but new legal papers reveal steps taken by Britney to protect her finances in the event of her death.

The move comes as it emerged Britneyโs father, Jamie Spears, has asked the court to approve Fidelity Financial Management as an adviser to her investments, with the power to set up โblocked accountsโ to hold the singerโs assets.
In 2008, following a public struggle with mental health difficulties, the singer was deemed incapable of making sound decisions on her own behalf and was placed under the joint conservatorship or guardianship of her father Jamie, and her attorney Andrew Wallet, until the latter stepped away from this responsibility in 2019 and the former gained full control over his eldest daughterโs financial and personal life.

Britney had filed a request to be liberated from her fatherโs conservatorship, but a judge in Los Angeles ruled last Wednesday that the pop star remains under guardianship โindefinitelyโ, or until February 2021 at the earliest.
However, the appointment of Jamie Lynn as trustee of her sisterโs fortune marks the first occasion upon which any control over Britneyโs assets has been transferred from her father.

According to legal documents obtained by The Blast, a plan has also been established as to how Britneyโs estate will be managed in the event of her death.
The most recently filed documents reportedly state: โUpon the settlorโs death, the entire principal of the Trust, including all accused and undistributed and unrealized income, together with any insurance on the settlorโs life or other assets payable to the Trust as a result of settlorโs death, shall be promptly distributed by the Trustee to the trustee or co-trustee of the BJS Kids & Family Trust, to be held, administered and distributed in accordance with its terms.โ

The documents also state that Britney will remain the sole beneficiary of SJB trust until her death.
