'Britney Spears Still Unfit To Handle Her Own Affairs'

Britney Spears may seem better, but she is still incapable of handling legal matters concerning her estate, claims her lawyer.

Having spent time in a psychiatric facilty earlier this year following a series of bizarre events, the pop wreck was deemed unfit to look after her legal and financial affairs, prompting her father Jamie to become conservator.

The 26-year-old was also stripped of custody of her two children, but she has since made good progress and been granted limited access to Jayden James and Sean Preston as part of her ongoing custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

But a Los Angeles court heard on Thursday that the star is still not well enough to participate in any legal proceedings, with her attorney telling the court that her doctor hopes to carry out "additional testing in the not-too-distant future".

A business plan for Spears' estate is expected to be filed by her father's legal team by 13 June.
