Amanda Bynes’ conservatorship is expected to end after nine years.
The 35-year-old requested to terminate both the conservatorship of her person and estate in court documents filed last month.
According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the judge assigned to Amanda’s case made a tentative ruling on Monday, writing: “The court determines that the conservatorship is no longer required and that grounds for establishment of a conservatorship of the person no longer exist.”
The judge is expected to officially terminate the actress’ conservatorship at a hearing this morning at the Ventura County Superior Court.
The former child star was placed under a conservatorship in August 2013, granting her mother Lynn Bynes legal control of her medical, personal and financial matters.
The legal arrangement was put in place after Amanda was hospitalised on an involuntary psychiatric hold for allegedly starting a small fire in her neighbour’s driveway.
It’s understood Amanda’s mother “completely supports” her request to end her conservatorship.
Amanda was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2014, and has been in and out of mental health facilities over the past decade.
In November 2018, the actress announced that she had been sober for four years in a candid interview with Paper magazine, in which she opened up about her addiction issues.
But just two months later, Amanda checked into a rehab facility after suffering a stress-induced relapse.
At the time, TMZ reported that the pressure of being back in the public eye, and trying to get back into acting, was “too much, too soon” for Amanda.
According to PEOPLE, the actress is now making plans to move into a new home with her fiancé Paul Michael.
