Executor compensation can cause problems between the executor and beneficiaries. Eliminate the discussion and the need for approval by beneficiaries and/or a Court by arranging to have funds set outside the estate to pay your executor for the multitude of tasks they will perform, on a non-taxable basis to your executor.
Arrange to have immediate funds made available to your executor to cover some of the expenses that families face, without asking the executor to pay for them out of their own pocket. In many cases, bills (including the funeral) are due before the estate administration is complete.
