Executrix fees in CT

What is the general rule of thumb for executrix fees in the state of CT? The estate has been in probate court since 2001 and it has been very involved due to a claim on the part of a family member. A lawyer is also involved and has charged for his services. What are reasonable charges for this time consuming process?
