(755 ILCS 5/28-9) (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.
