The executor is entitled to charge for the administration of the estate. Typically, as a guideline, the fee is 2.5 per cent of assets in and assets out or disbursed. If the estate is administered for a period of time there can be an additional fee of two-fifths of 1 per cent of the average value of the estate.his will allow the executor to receive the funds as an inheritance rather than an executorâs fee. The executorâs fee is taxable as income. If the executor is also a beneficiary they usually do not take the executorâs fee as well.
Although the law does not require an executor to be a lawyer or other legal or financial expert, it does require than every executor fulfill their duties with the utmost honest and diligence. The word for this in the law is a fiduciary duty, which holds the executor to act in good faith with regards to a person's will. An executor is not entitled to proceeds from the sale of property of the estate. Depending on the particular state, generally, an executor is only entitled to a fee as compensation for administering the will. Most states mandate that this fee be reasonable given the size or complexity of the will.
