An independent executor is one who works independently from the court. A dependent executor must seeks the court's permission to perform most acts, such as selling property, borrowing money, or distributing assets.

A person or entity could be either dependent or independent. For example, a spouse would typically be independent, but might be dependent if there were controversy in the case. The test is usually whether there needs to be court oversight.

Please be aware that each state has different laws on this subject. The above specifically refers to Texas, but is fairly general. Some states might be quite different.
