Answer

I am not an attorney, but I recently visited one and was told that if they are responsible for handling all my business after I passed, they would charge a percent of what I'm leaving for their fees and then they will distribute the rest to the beneficiaries that I have listed.

The person who has been appointed executor or executrix of the estate is responsible for distribution of any remaining assets after all debts and taxes of the deceased have been satisfied according to state probate law.

Can you pay a beneficiary with stock?

The answer depends on the facts of the particular situation, how the will reads, what the beneficiary is given under the will and other factors. Also the laws of the state of probate should be taken into consideration as well as they might have a bearing. In the typical case where a beneficiary is given a specific dollar amount of money, you cannot pay the beneficiary with stock unless the beneficiary and the residuary legatees agree to it. If the beneficiary is given the stock itself, then the beneficiary must be paid with that stock unless he directs the executor to sell it and give cash instead. Even in that case an executor might refuse to sell the stock and tell the beneficiary to sell the stock himself after he receives it. If the beneficiary is given a portion of the residuary estate (which would include all sorts of assets) the beneficiary has the right to request the stock itself, but only in proportion to his/her share in the residuary. If the situation is that there are two residuary legatees and the value of the estate available for distribution is composed of cash and stock having equal value, the executor cannot force one beneficiary to take the stock and the other to take the cash unless that is what they agree to.
