Abstract: We consider densely defined sectorial operators

A_{p} m

that can be written in the form

A_{p} m = p m i S + V

with

m a t h c a l D (A_{p} m) = m a t h c a l D (S) = m a t h c a l D (V)

, where both

S

and

V g e q v a r e p s i l o n > 0

are assumed to be symmetric. We develop an analog to the Birmin-Krein-Vishik-Grubb (BKVG) theory of selfadjoint extensions of a given strictly positive symmetric operator, where we will construct all maximally accretive extensions

A_{D}

of

A_{+}

with the property that

o v e r l i n e A_{+} s u b s e t A_{D} s u b s e t A_{-}^{*}

. Here,

D

is an auxiliary operator from

k e r (A_{-}^{*})

to

k e r (A_{+}^{*})

that parametrizes the different extensions

A_{D}

. After this, we will give a criterion for when the quadratic form

p s i m a p s t o m b o x R e l a n g l e p s i, A_{D} p s i a n g l e

is closable and show that the selfadjoint operator

w i d e h a t V

that corresponds to the closure is an extension of

V

. We will show how

w i d e h a t V

depends on

D

, which --- using the classical BKVG-theory of selfadjoint extensions --- will allow us to define a partial order on the real parts of

A_{D}

depending on

D

. Applications to second order ordinary differential operators are discussed.
