An independent administration is a non-court administration. After a person has applied for letters testamentary and been qualified as independent executor by the court, the executor files an inventory of the estate's assets and their appraised value, and a list of claims of the estate.

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.
