is a beneficiary who is the executor entitled to a fee
The executor is entitled to charge for the administration of the estate. Typically, as a guideline, the fee is 2.5 per cent of assets in and assets out or disbursed. If the estate is administered for a period of time there can be an additional fee of two-fifths of 1 per cent of the average value of the estate.his will allow the executor to receive the funds as an inheritance rather than an executorâs fee. The executorâs fee is taxable as income. If the executor is also a beneficiary they usually do not take the executorâs fee as well.
