Please note: the statutory maximum executor's fee is 3.5% (excl. VAT) of the gross value of the estate, and 6% (excl. VAT) on income collected during administration, per the Administration of Estates Act — but a will can stipulate a different rate, and the Master of the High Court can adjust the fee in certain circumstances. This is an indicative estimate only.
