Britney Spears reportedly about to file paperwork to end her 13-year conservatorship

Britney Spears is reportedly about to file paperwork to end her conservatorship after 13 years.

Earlier today it was incorrectly reported by two outlets that Spears' attorney Samuel D. Ingham III had submitted paperwork in Los Angeles. Shortly after the publishing, the stories were retracted.

It's believed Ingham has prepared documents to terminate the conservatorship, but it wasn't formally processed due to the courthouse's early closure.

Us Weekly Justice Editor Marjorie Hernandez wrote on Twitter, "Sources have confirmed to @usweekly that #BritneySpears and her lawyer just filed a petition to terminate her conservatorship. Details to come," She later added, "Update & clarification: At the end of business day, the petition had not been filed, but sources said the termination paperwork has been prepared. #BritneySpears #FreeBritney."

Meanwhile, Page Six Deputy Editor Nicholas Hautman confirmed the delay in a separate tweet.

"Echoing my awesome former coworker @MJae13, the paperwork is done and ready for the court, but it was not formally processed through the system by the time the courthouse closed today. This explains why TMZ pulled its premature story. Patience, y'all. It's happening. #FreeBritney," he tweeted.

Spears' team hasn't yet issued an official statement on the pop star's decision to file.

The news comes after Spears gave a testimony at her conservatorship hearing last week. The singer appeared virtually before the court and asked for her "oppressive and controlling" conservatorship to be removed.

"This conservatorship is doing me way more harm than good," she said. "I deserve to have a life."

A chorus of celebrities including Christina Aguilera, ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey, Cher, and Brandy have voiced support for Spears. Earlier on Monday, Spears' sister Jamie Lynn Spears also broke her silence on the situation.
