Britney Spears’ mother Lynne has reportedly filed new legal documents asking to be involved in decisions regarding her daughter’s finances. .
According to legal documents obtained by US website The Blast, Lynne has filed a request with the Los Angeles County Courts to be included in “special notice” of “all matters” relating to the singer’s multi-million dollar trust.
She asked to be included as an “interested person” in matters relating to the trust, which was established in 2004.
The star’s finances are currently under a court-approved conservatorship.
Britney was placed under conservatorship, a form of legal guardianship for adults, in 2008 after she suffered a high-profile breakdown.
It is typically put in place for those who are no longer in a position to make major life decisions, including those relating to medical, financial and legal affairs.
The pop icon’s father Jamie Spears was in charge of her conservatorship until last year, when he stepped down citing health issues.
Britney’s longtime manager Jodi Montgomery was then assigned as her new conservator. The conservatorship is set to be reviewed in August 2020.

The #FreeBritney campaign, which argues that the star should no longer remain under conservatorship, began last year after Britney briefly attended a psychiatric facility and started to trend on Twitter again earlier this week.
A Change.org petition calling for the singer’s conservatorship to be removed has been signed by more than 130,000 fans.
However, those close to Spears insist the rule is in place for her wellbeing.
"The conservatorship is not a jail," Larry Rudolph, Spears' manager, told The Washington Post. "It helps Britney make business decisions and manage her life in ways she can't do on her own right now."
“She’s always involved in every career and business decision,” her attorney Stanton Stein told the LA Times last year. “Period.”
