How are executors fees calculated?
We are doing our wills and are thinking about who to appoint as executors. Family can't do it as they are beneficiaries. That leaves close friends and lawyers. I don't want to go down the road of using a lawyer as I have a feeling that they charge a percentage fee based on the value of the estate, rather than on the actual…

I asked her pleasantly not to do it too…
