An executor in New Jersey receives compensation in the form of commissions on the date of death value of the estate and on the income earned by estate assets after the date of death. The rates are: 5% on the first $200,000.; 3.5% on the next 800,000; 2% on the excess over $1,000,000. A court may adjust these percentages somewhat depending on what is defined as the "pains, trouble and risk" the executor is put to in order to handle the estate. In addition, executors get 6% of all income earned by the estate assets. Income includes all post-death dividends from stock, interest on bank accounts and rents from real property, if any. Executors can also get reimbursed for legitimate expenses, but may not charge by the hour for the work that is done.

No. The estate is responsible for any estate taxes. However, if your bequest involves a substantial amount of money you should seek professional advice. The attorney who is handling the estate should be able to advise you.
