However, this may be deviated from in a will.\n\r \nFurthermore, an executor may always charge costs that he or she reasonably had to incur for the settlement of the estate.\n\n yours sincerely,\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n The legal executor's fee stipulates that the executor receives 1% of the estate's value. This isn't always a reasonable fee, as the value of an estate doesn't necessarily reflect the amount of work the executor must perform. If no executor is appointed in the will and a family member acts as an agent on behalf of the other heirs to settle matters, they are not automatically entitled to the same compensation as an executor. It is then a matter of negotiation between the heirs as to whether a fee will be paid and how much.\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302346010973,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-10780-wat-is-een-redelijke-vergoeding-als-een-familielid-de-taak-van-testamentair-executeur-op-zich-neemt","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
