RIGHTS OF INTERESTED PERSONS
DURING INDEPENDENT ADMINISTRATION
The executor will not have to have court orders or file estate documents in court during probate. The estate will be administered without court supervision unless an interested person asks the court to become involved. Under 755 ILCS 5/28-4, any interested person may terminate independent administration at any time by mailing or delivering a petition to the Clerk of the Court. If there is a will which directed independent administration, independent administration will be terminated only if the court finds there is good cause to require supervised administration; and if the Petitioner is a creditor or legatee, independent administration will be terminated only if the court finds that the termination is necessary to protect the Petitioner’s interest. The form of the petition is set forth in Supreme Court Rule 110.
In addition, any interested person may petition the court to hold a hearing and resolve any particular question that may arise (755 ILCS 5/28-5). The independent representative must mail a copy of the inventory and final account to each interested person and must send notice to or obtain the approval of each interested person before the estate can be closed (755 ILCS 5/28-6, 28-11). Any person has the right to question or object to any item included in or omitted from an inventory or account or to insist on a full court accounting of all receipts and disbursements with prior notice. (755 ILCS 5/28-11).
Copies of the Petition to Probate the Will, Order Admitting Will to Probate and any other estate document may be obtained from the Circuit Clerk of Champaign County, the executor or his attorney on request.
