It is usually a percentage of the gross estate. It starts at 5% of the first 200K and above that decreases on a sliding scale as the size of the estate increases. In special situations the Court can be asked to approve a higher fee.

Attorney Vallario's answer does not represent the current state of the law here in Massachusetts. You should contact someone local for further information.
