(CNN) -
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Wednesday denied a motion to remove Britney Spears' father as guardian of her daughter's estate, and made official a request made in November to allow a trust to act as co- tutor.

The decision was made following a request made in November in which Spears's attorney asked that the Bessemer Trust serve as co-guardian alongside the singer's father.
