Amanda Bynes has filed to end her almost nine-year conservatorship that began in 2013 because “she believes her condition is improved.”
“Amanda wishes to terminate her conservatorship. She believes her condition is improved and protection of the court is no longer necessary,” her attorney, David A. Esquibias, told People.
The court documents to end the arrangement were filed Wednesday, according to a report.

In September, Esquibias said the former Nickelodeon star was “doing really well, besides anxiety and trauma” and that her conservatorship may end when it is “no longer convenient.”
The actress is seeking to end the legal arrangement for both her person and estate, according to the petition submitted to Ventura County Superior Court.
In 2013, the actress’s mother, Lynn, was granted a temporary conservatorship over her daughter after an incident in which Bynes started a fire in a stranger’s driveway. Lynn once again became legally responsible for Bynes and her estate in 2014.
In 2014, Bynes tweeted to tell her fans that she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a month after being subjected to an involuntary psychiatric hold.
During the arrangement, she has reportedly struggled with addiction and has been in and out of various mental health facilities.
