Britney Spearss Father Suspended as Conservator of Her $60 Million Estate

LOS ANGELES—Britney Spears’s father was suspended as conservator of her $60 million estate, as the court moves toward unwinding the 13-year legal arrangement that the pop star has called abusive.

At a hearing Wednesday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny said the pleadings made it clear that “the current situation is not tenable.” She approved John Zabel, an accountant, as temporary conservator of Ms. Spears’s estate, replacing her father, James Spears.
