You mentioned that you've seen it happen, but have you seen it happen when the conservator doesn't support it, as is the case with Britney? It seems like that would be a fairly significant deciding factor, and would be very difficult to obtain in the event that a conservatorship becomes exploitative (since the person exploiting them would have significant influence over whether they're removed)

Seems an important distinction given Britney's request earlier this year to have someone else take over for her father as conservator, since that seems like the only way to remove that obstacle to lifting the conservatorship

IIRC she wanted Bessemer to take over entirely, then settled for a co-conservator status. She wants them because they took over the conservatorship when her father was in hospital, and she apparently found them to be far fairer in their treatment of her. It seems that having them as co-conservator means that anything he wants to do has to also be approved by them though, so there's less scope for him taking advantage of her

Apparently he "trained as a Navy Seal" according to the BBC. The fact he's not described as a "former Navy Seal" suggests he either dropped out or didn't pass muster though
