Missouri Consent for Independent Administration is a legal form used to grant a representative the authority to independently administer an estate in the state of Missouri. This form allows a representative to make decisions and act on behalf of a decedent's estate without having to seek court approval. It is typically used in intestate estates, which are estates without a will. The form allows the representative to take actions such as collecting and selling assets, paying debts, and distributing the remaining assets to the heirs. There are two types of Missouri Consent for Independent Administration: 1. General Consents for Independent Administration: This is the most common type of form and grants the representative the authority to manage the estate, without court supervision, from beginning to end. 2. Limited Consent for Independent Administration: This type of form grants the representative the authority to manage the estate, without court supervision, for a specific purpose. For example, the representative may be authorized to sell a specific asset or pay a specific debt.
