Britney Spears' dad Jaime has sole control over the pop singer's conservatorship amid a recent shakeup in her camp.
Lawyer Andrew Wallet, a co-conservator for the 37-year-old entertainer's estate, quit the singer's team Monday, leaving Jamie, 66, as the only remaining conservator, The Blast reported.
'The conservatorship is engaged in numerous ongoing business activities requiring immediate attention and it therefore is in the best interest of the conservatee that the acceptance of Wallet’s resignation and the issuance of amended letters of conservatorship of the estate occur immediately and without delay,' the attorney said in a legal docs to the court seeking approval on the transfer of power.

The lawyer continued: 'Substantial detriment, irreparable harm and immediate danger will result to the conservatee and her estate if the relief requested herein in not granted on an ex parte basis.'
Insiders told the outlet that Wallet is about to retire, and the transfer was not expected to be a major shakeup for the Grammy winner business-wise, as her father has had it running smoothly.
Jamie has presided over Britney's business affairs for more than a decade, since a string of incidents around 2007-2008 prompted the creation of the conservatorship.
The Make Me... singer has since gotten back on track personally, in raising her sons Sean, 13, and Jayden, 12; as well as professionally, in her musical career.

Jamie Spears dealt with health problems earlier this year, leading Britney to delay a series of shows in her Las Vegas residency.
She said in a statement January 4: 'I am dedicating my focus and energy to care for my family. We have a very special relationship and I want to be with my family at this time just like they have always been there for me.'
A source told the magazine last month that Jamie 'is doing much better now,' leading the Lucky singer to refocus her efforts toward performing.
'She has no regrets about postponing her Domination residency to spend time with him,' the source said, 'but she is excited to get back to her career and doing what she loves most.'
