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 executor’s fee. The executor’s fee is taxable as income. If the executor is also a beneficiary they usually do not take the executor’s fee as well.
