You’ve been appointed an Independent Executor…what now?
The Court has appointed you to a position of great expectation. As an Independent Executor, you hold a significant amount of responsibility. It’s important to contact a qualified attorney to guide you through this process.
What is an Independent Executor?
An Executor is considered independent if the decedent died without a Will or if the decedent left a Will that specifically states that his Executor should be independent. When the Executor is independent, they are not dependent upon the Court for oversight and approval of all actions.
