 (from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 28-2)Sec. 28-2. Order for independent administration - notice of  appointment of independent administrator.)(a)  Unless the will, if any,  expressly forbids independent administration or supervised  administration is required under subsection (b), the court shall grant  independent administration (1) when an order is entered appointing a  representative pursuant to a petition which does not request supervised  administration and which is filed under Section 6-2, 6-9, 6-20, 7-2,  8-2, 9-4 or 9-6 and (2) on petition by the representative at any time or  times during supervised administration and such notice to interested  persons as the court directs. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of  the preceding sentence, if there is an interested person who is a minor  or person with a disability, the court may require supervised administration (or  may grant independent administration on such conditions as its deems  adequate to protect the ward's interest) whenever the court finds that  (1) the interests of the ward are not adequately represented by a  personal fiduciary acting or designated to act pursuant to Section 28-3  or by another party having a substantially identical interest in the  estate and the ward is not represented by a guardian of his estate and  (2) supervised administration is necessary to protect the ward's  interests.  When independent administration is granted, the independent  representative shall include with  each notice required to be mailed to heirs or legatees under Section 6-10  or Section 9-5 an explanation of the rights of  heirs and legatees  under this Article and the form of petition which may be used to terminate  independent administration under subsection 28-4(a).  The form and substance  of the notice of rights and the petition to terminate shall be prescribed  by rule of the Supreme Court of this State.   Each order granting independent  administration and the letters shall state that the  representative is appointed  as independent executor or independent administrator, as the case may be.  The independent representative shall file  proof of mailing with the clerk of the court.(b) If an interested person objects to the grant of independent administration  under subsection (a), the court shall require supervised  administration, except:(1) If the will, if any, directs independent     administration, supervised administration shall be required only if the court finds there is good cause to require supervised administration.(2) If the objector is a creditor or a legatee other     than a residuary legatee, supervised administration shall be required only if the court finds it is necessary to protect the objector's interest, and instead of ordering supervised administration, the court may require such other action as it deems adequate to protect the objector's interest.

 (from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 28-9)Sec. 28-9.         Protection of persons dealing with an independent representative.)  No person dealing with an independent representative is obliged to inquire  as to the independent representative's powers under any will or court order  or see to the application of any money or property paid or delivered to  the independent representative.  No will or court order limiting an independent  representative's powers is effective as to a person with whom the independent  representative deals, and such person may assume that the independent representative's  act is in accordance with any applicable will or court order, unless such  person has actual knowledge of the limitation.  If property or a security  interest therein is acquired in good faith by a purchaser or lender for  value from an independent  representative, the purchaser or lender takes  title free of the rights of all persons having an interest in the estate  and incurs no liability to the estate, whether or not the action of the  independent representative was proper.

If the distribution is made before the expiration of the  period when claims are barred under Section 18-12, the independent  representative must require the distributee to give him a refunding bond as  provided in Section 24-4.  If the estate includes an interest in real  estate that has not been sold by the independent representative, the  independent representative must record and deliver to the persons entitled  thereto an instrument which contains the legal description of the real estate  and releases the estate's interest.(b) If abatement or equalization of legacies pursuant to subsection 24-3(b)  or (c) is required, the independent representative shall determine the amount  of the respective contributions, the manner in which they are paid and whether  security is required.(c) If it appears to the independent representative that the value of  the estate of the decedent remaining after payment of 1st class claims does  not exceed the amount of the surviving spouse's and child's awards due,  the independent representative may deliver the personal estate to the persons  entitled to the awards and close the estate as provided in Section 28-11,  without waiting until the expiration of the period when claims are barred  under Section 18-12.(d) If property distributed in kind, or a security interest therein, is  acquired in good faith by a purchaser or lender for value from a distributee  (or from the successors in interest to a distributee) who has received physical  delivery or an assignment, deed, release or other instrument of distribution  from an independent representative, the purchaser or lender takes title  free of the rights of all persons having an interest in the estate and incurs  no liability to the estate, whether or not the distribution was proper.(e) If a distributee is a minor or a person with a disability, the independent  representative may make distribution to the ward's representative, if any,  to a custodian for the ward under the Illinois Uniform Transfers to Minors  Act or the corresponding statute of any other state in which the ward or the  custodian resides, by deposit or investment of the ward's property subject  to court order under Section 24-21 or in any other manner authorized by law.
