Even if we were to assume that Lynne had good intentions, her good intentions led to 13 years of Britney being in something that Britney herself likened to sex trafficking. But really, the fact that Lynne is currently trying to petition to have Britney's estate pay for her lawyer fees should tell you that the primary reason/motive behind her actions is likely money, just like the rest of the family. Since we're examining her family's initial intentions, we need only look at the type of conservatorship Britney is in. There are two main types of conservatorships: 1) LPS and 2) probate (Britney is in a probate conservatorship). Per the LA Court website, a LPS conservatorship is meant for "persons gravely disabled due to mental disorder and in need of involuntary treatment". A probate conservatorship is for "persons unable to provide for personal needs for physical health, food, clothing and/or shelter or unable to resist fraud or undue influence". Here's another difference between the two, the access to a conservatee's money is far more limited in an LPS conservatorship than an probate one. It's essentially limited to paying for conservatee's treatments, assuming the person has sufficient funds.
So if we assert that Lynne (along with the rest of the family) was initially well-intended and wanted to help Britney through a mental health crisis, why isn't she in an LPS conservatorship, the one that is specifically for those going through a mental health emergency and where access to Britney's money/assets are strictly limited? Why is she in the one that allows her family to take complete hold of her money/assets in order to "protect" her (and her money/assets) from "undue influence"? Imo, given what we've seen various members of her family say and do, it seems as if they see Britney's money/assets as belonging to the family, not just Britney, and therefore feel entitled to it. Again, Lynne is currently petitioning the court to have Britney pay her legal bills.

If U Seek Amy has surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify. It's her 16th song to achieve this feat.

She has no clear opposition and Jamie’s legal team is only there to protect his assets in the event she comes for him down the road.
I’m pretty sure it’s done today.

This happened so much faster than I expected. I couldn’t be happier for her, her kids, Mark Zuckerberg for the amount of traffic her Instagram is about to generate, and Sam. Thank God this nightmare is over. me

No, she freed herself. We may have given her the push she needed, but she did it.

The CNN piece said her money is being placed into a trust and there are two more hearing next year to finalize these details. I think stuff about her personal care too.

Even when the path seemed clear for Britney to be free, given all the nonsense that has happened in this court, I didn't want to get ahead of myself. Now that it's official, I am beyond happy and elated for her, even more so when I took a step back and really thought about what it took for Britney to get to this point. She had to endure over 13 years of abuse and gaslighting, then still had to muster up the courage to speak about her trauma to the world, and do so while trying to sound as lucid as possible despite the whirlwind of emotions she must have felt. For Britney to have simply made it through to the other side at all is a miracle. For Britney to emerge with the strength and vitality that she does is truly unbelievable.
I wish her all the happiness in the world and those that were around her who denied her that happiness for over 13 years get held accountable.

Good for her and good for the fans that made it happen. It all seemed so surreal and improbable at first that I didn't believe it. But some fans stood their ground and kept digging for the truth and now she's free to live her life.
Whatever comes next for her, I'm happy. Not gonna lie, I'd love some music or at the very least a big interview with her side of the story if she wants to. But I'm just as happy if she buys an island and lives there privately for the rest of her life. She has more than earned the right for some peace of mind.
