Britney Spears' sister is seeking more control over the star's fortune, in an increasingly tense battle over the singer's legal guardianship.

Jamie Lynn Spears already has some say over her sister's finances after being named a trustee of her estate in 2018.

In a court filing last week, she asked for control of money stored in a trust fund set up for Britney's children.

She requested the money be moved into accounts for which she is the custodian, BBC reported.

If approved, it would transfer the financial assets of the fund to those accounts and require a judge's approval to release them.

Britney Spears' finances are currently controlled by her father, James Spears, who has been his daughter's legal conservator for more than a decade due to concerns around her mental health.

He temporarily stepped aside from the role overseeing her personal affairs in 2019, citing his own health problems.
