An Illinois Order Converting To Independent administration (Estate To Remain Open) is a legal document issued by an Illinois probate court. It allows an estate to remain open and allows a personal representative to manage the estate without court supervision. This type of order is often used when an estate is too small to justify the cost of formal court supervision. There are two types of Illinois Order Converting To Independent administration (Estate To Remain Open): 1. Conversion to Independent Administration — An Illinois probate court may issue a Conversion to Independent Administration Order when the estate is too small to justify the cost of formal court supervision. This type of order allows the personal representative to manage the estate without court supervision. 2. Limited Independent Administration — A Limited Independent Administration Order is similar to a Conversion to Independent Administration Order, but it requires the personal representative to obtain court approval for certain actions. This type of order is typically used when an estate requires more oversight than a Conversion to Independent Administration Order.
