§58-527.
§58-527.
A. When no compensation is provided by the will, or the executor
renounces all claim thereto, he must be allowed commissions upon the
amount of the whole estate accounted for by him, excluding all
property not ranked as assets, as follows:
1. For the first thousand dollars, at the rate of five percent (5%);
2. For the next Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), at the rate of four
percent (4%); and
3. For all amounts above Six Thousand Dollars ($6,000.00), at the rate
of two and one-half percent (2 1/2%); and the same commission must be
allowed administrators.
In all cases such further allowance may be made, as the judge of the
district court may deem just and reasonable, for any extraordinary
service. The total amount of such allowance must not exceed the amount
of commissions allowed by this section.
B. Co-executors and co-administrators shall be entitled, as a unit, to
the same fee allowable to a single executor or administrator, which
shall be divided among them as the court may determine, unless they
agree to a different division and the division is approved by the
court.
C. An executor or administrator who does not serve during the entire
administration of an estate shall be entitled to only a portion of the
fee provided in subsection A of this section, and such portion shall
be determined by the court in its discretion.
