Re: is a attorny entitled to half the executors fee as a co executor

Normally, I would say yes, the attorney is entitled to one-half the executors fees, plus attorneys fees. You can research this at : http://www.findlaw.com/11stategov/ga/laws.html

However, you can always challenge the reasonableness of the attorney's fees, but you have to be careful to follow the rules of procedure. Please feel free to call me for a consultation.
