Amanda Bynes’ Parents Aren’t Putting Her Into Another Conservatorship

In a move that could surprise some, Amanda Bynes’ parents aren’t putting her into another conservatorship following her recent psychotic episode. Her parents Lynn and Rick are concerned about her well-being, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to make a move in the near future.
It’s been nearly nine years since the “Easy A” star was put under a legal conservatorship, meaning her mother acted as the person who would oversee her medical and financial decisions. Bynes faced challenges, including run-ins with the police and an involuntary psychiatric hold. However, there’s positive progress for the 35-year-old actress. She recently completed an associate’s degree and is now pursuing a bachelor’s degree in fashion and design.
After going through a lot, it’s encouraging to see Bynes moving forward in her life. In addition to getting her degree, she’s also reportedly taking a more active role in her social life.
Her mother, Lynn Bynes, was her conservator for the last nine years, but she’s planning to be removed from her position and a private trust will be set up to take over her material needs and finances. That’s a good move, and one that could allow Bynes to be more independent from her parents.
It’s a huge win for the former child star, who has made it clear she wants to be her own person again. She’s been taking steps to become more self-aware, like reclaiming her Twitter account and flagging down her own car for help.
