What is the rate of compensation to the executor of an estate?
The rates of compensation of executors are fixed by the laws of the state in which the will was probated. Generally, executors get a percentage of the "corpus" and of the "income" of the estate. "Corpus" means the assets of the decedent at the date of his death. "Income" means interest, dividends, rents, etc earned by the corpus after the date of death. You must check the probate state's laws for the actual percentages AND what types of property qualifies as "corpus". For example, at least in New Jersey an executor might, in certain circumstances, not be entitled to commissions on the value of, say, real estate that passed to a joint owner.

Executors and administrators also shall be allowed a commission of one per cent on the value of real estate that is not sold. Executors and administrators also shall be allowed a commission of one per cent on all property that is not subject to administration and that is includable for purposes of computing the Ohio estate tax, except joint and survivorship property. The basis of valuation for the allowance of such commissions on real estate sold shall be the gross proceeds of sale, and for all other property the fair market value of the other property as of the date of death of the decedent. The commissions allowed to executors and administrators in this section shall be received in full compensation for all their ordinary services. If the probate court finds, after hearing, that an executor or administrator, in any respect, has not faithfully discharged his duties as executor or administrator, the court may deny the executor or administrator any compensation whatsoever or may allow the executor or administrator the reduced compensation that the court thinks proper.
