Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York
calculate executor fee
can you please tell me how to calculate the executor fee in the State of New York? Also, is the percentage calculated on funds that include money that was in a joint savings account set up by the deceased? Or are joint assets excluded from the calculation?
Thank you
