After nearly nine years, Amanda Bynes' conservatorship has been terminated.
On Tuesday, a judge officially terminated the conservatorship weeks after the 35-year-old actress filed paperwork to have it ended, reported Variety.
The news comes after the judge assigned to the case made a ruling late Monday, March 21, and said the decision should be officially announced on Tuesday, reported People.
"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 wrote in the tentative ruling, per the outlet.
After a successful early career as a child star on on the Nickelodeon hit, “All That” from 1996-2000, Bynes got her breakout lead role on “The Amanda Show,” (1999-2002), and starred in the hit movie, “What a Girl Wants” (2003).

Since then though, the actress experienced a number of setbacks involving drug abuse and repeat trips to rehab, which led to her mother setting up a conservatorship which kept decisions about Bynes’ estate out of her hands.
In February, the now sober 35-year old actress filed court documents in Ventura County, CA, to end the nine-year conservatorship. Her lawyer, David A. Esquibias told People, "Amanda wishes to terminate her conservatorship. She believes her condition is improved and protection of the court is no longer necessary."
