Is an executor of a will in Maryland entitled to any compensation?

A close friend is the executor of his sisters will. The deceased lived in Maryland. My friend is not listed in his sisters will as being a beneficiary of any of her estate just as the executor.

Will he be entitled to any compensation for administering the will?

Thank you.

Yes. See Maryland Code sec. 7-601.

Fee is 9% of the estate if the estate is less than $20,000. If it is greater than $20,000, it is $1,800 plus 3.6% of the excess over $20,000.

The executor is also permitted to hire an attorney to help him with the administration of the estate. See Maryland Code sec 7-602.

Yes he will be
