An executor is a person or institution appointed to carry out the terms of a Will.
An executor is considered independent if the decedent (person who passed away) 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.
