Best Answer

A reasonable fee an executor can charge for doing all the work (and there can be a lot of it) in executing a will. This fee will be on top of any expenses and will come out of the estate before any inheritance payouts. Heirs should be able to see what the expenses and commission are, should they wish to do so - it is the duty of the executor to keep detailed records/accounts.

In the state of NJ if there are 5 executors do they split the executor fee or is each paid a separate fee?

In New Jersey, 1% of the estate is added to the usual percentages for one executor for each additional executor. They split the total commission equally unless there is an agreement among them to split it in some other proportion. In an estate of about $100,000, the usual commission is 5% for one executor. If there are two executors, the commission would be 6%, with each entitled to 3% unless they agree to a different split.
