Amanda Bynes is ready to be free. And on Friday, at the Ventura County Court in California, she filed documents with the court to make it happen. The actress requested termination of both the conservatorship of her person and estate in the. petition filed Friday at the Ventura County Court in California, according to Page Six. 

Britney Spears got out of the legal prison of a 13-year conservatorship in November 2021. And other celebrities that don’t have control of their own money are following her example.

Bynes, 35, has been under a conservatorship with her mother, Lynn Organ, in control since August 2013. 

In September, Amanda Bynes’ conservatorship was extended for another two years. The judge said she would remain under the care of the court. And under doctors' care until January 2023, but all legal details of the documents are sealed.

Bynes had also filed a capacity declaration which is required of California conservatorship cases. The updated records about a conservatee’s mental and emotional state are completed by their physician, psychologist, or religious healing practitioner.

Friday Bynes’ attorney, David A. Esquibias, said in a statement, “Amanda wishes to terminate her conservatorship. She believes her condition has improved and protection of the court is no longer necessary.”

A court hearing regarding termination is scheduled for March 22nd.

The 9-year conservatorship began in 2013 after Amanda had some public meltdowns and interactions with the police. She had struggled with her mental health and possibly drugs. 

She was committed temporarily to a psychiatric facility. And when released her parents were granted conservatorship.

 She is currently pursuing a career in design. And is the creator of her own fashion line "Dear."  She has also had a moderately successful career in rap music.

Bynes got engaged last year. And has almost certainly shown an ability to function.
