Massachusetts does not have a fee schedule or other law which would dictate a specific amount. The answer depends on the nature and complexity of the work performed to preserve and distribute the estate and the amount of time required to perform it. The executor (or anyone challenging the fee) can always bring the issue to the attention of the probate court for a formal determination.
I suggest you consult with an experienced probate attorney if you have questions.
