Generally, when the attorney is getting ready to close the estate she/he will file a final account with the court. The beneficiaries should receive some form of assent to the account and/or release of demands along with a copy of the account. Each will need to sign the assent/release and send it back to the attorney. The attorney will file the account for allowance along with the assents/releases. When the final account has been allowed the estate is closed.

How does an Executor of an estate collect their commission?

An Executor of an estate typically collects their commission as outlined in the will or according to state probate laws, which often specify a percentage of the estate's value or a fee based on the work involved. To receive the commission, the Executor must first complete their duties, including settling debts, filing tax returns, and distributing assets to beneficiaries. Once the estate is settled, they can submit a formal request for payment to the probate court, which may require documentation of their activities and the estate's financial status. After court approval, the commission can be disbursed from the estate's funds.

Does the law in wi. automatically give a percentage of the estate to the administrator of the will?

"The personal representative has a right to reimbursement for expenses incurred in managing and settling the estate, and for time spent carrying out those duties. Payment for the latter may equal 2 percent of the inventory value of the estate assets (less any mortgages or liens). Or it may be some other amount the decedent specified, or the beneficiaries agreed upon, or the court approved. If the personal representative is derelict in carrying out duties, the court may reduce or deny compensation. The court also must approve expenses and attorney fees in formal probate proceedings."

Who can assist me to obtain executorship letter?

i got this in another site as well hope this might help "letter of administration" is simply paperwork which must be filed with the local (where the deceased lived) Registrar of Wills. Typically, if an exexutor/executrix is named in the Will, that person files the Will with the registrar, completes formal paperwork and is appointed to administer the estate. If there was no Will, you need to petition the Court to be appointed. That's the easy part. Depending on the size of the estate, the number of named beneficiaries, amount of debts owed, potential estate and inheritance tax filings etc. the executor/administrator may have a lot of work to do. If you are not well versed in what needs to be done, you may want to hire an attorney for assistance. Any attorney fees come out of the deceased's estate. Also, in most states, as an executor/administrator, you would be entitled to a commisssion fee for your time spent finalizing the estate. Be sure to keep accurate records of everything you do (what, when, time spent etc).
