In this episode, Amy Bryant from the Office of Conservatorship Management discusses two high-profile conservatorship cases: Michael Oher and Britney Spears. She explains that Michael Oher, the subject of the movie 'The Blind Side,' was placed under conservatorship by his adoptive family in order to have the authority to make decisions for him. The conservatorship was terminated in 2023, and there is ongoing litigation regarding whether his family breached their fiduciary duty to him. In the case of Britney Spears, her conservatorship is sealed, but it is known that she had two conservators, one for her person and one for her property. The controversy surrounding her conservatorship led to legislative action to protect individuals under conservatorship.
