Re: Statutory fees vs extraordinary fees

It may be easier to give some examples of extraordinary services:

1) Sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, or foreclosure of real estate;

2) Sales and leases;

3) Sale or mortgage of personal property;

4) Negotiation or litigation of claims against the estate;

5) Preparation of tax returns;

6) Carrying on decedent's business under court order.

There are others, but see California Probate Code sections 10801 and 10811 for more guidance.
