Britney Spears' fiance Jason Trawick applies to share legal control over singer with her father

Britney Spears will soon have two men watching over her after her fiance Jason Trawick has applied to be a co-conservator over the singer.

The pop star's father Jamie Spears, who has been legally in control of Britney since her public meltdown in February 2008, is asking a court to add Trawick as a co-conservator.

The legal moves will no doubt prompt speculation Britney, 30, is set to wed her former manager, 40, sooner rather than later following their December engagement.

A source told People magazine that Trawick will only have shared legal control over his fiancée's general well-being, but not her finances.

Although conservator can make decisions over a person's food, clothing and healthcare, the singer actually has quite a lot of freedom.

LA probate attorney Jeffrey S Cohen, who is not involved in the case, told People: 'This is a very unusual situation, because generally you don't see conservatees get married.

'This could be a sign that the couple's wedding is around the corner.

'This is probably a compromise between Britney, her father and Trawick to get the marriage off on the right foot.

'Obviously, her future husband needs to have a say in her well being.'

Restaurant owner Jamie has held legal control over the singer since her high-profile hospitalisation in February 2008.

Following months of erratic behaviour, the singer placed under involuntary psychiatric hold and placed in a psychiatric ward in a Los Agenels for a week.

Jamie was then handed control of her assets, which he has kept watch over for the past four years.

Last month, Los Angeles Judge Reva Goetz said she was 'impressed' with Britney's progress during a conservatorship hearing.

The conservatorship was made permanent several years ago, but Britney is now in the process of petitioning to have the legal measure removed.

At the time Goetz said she was granting the permanent conservatorship in part because Britney had shown she was 'susceptible to undue influence'.
