Editing Executor (section)

===Executor pay===
In some countries, such as the United States, an executor is automatically entitled to compensation for his or her services, although this amount varies dramatically by jurisdiction. Unless specifically set by the will, this compensation is often determined by what is considered "reasonable" for the effort involved, although in a number of jurisdictions, the amount is instead set as a percentage of the overall estate. For example, in California the executor is entitled to 4% of the first $100K of estate value, 3% of the next $100K, and so on. In other countries, such as the United Kingdom, the executor is ''not'' automatically entitled to compensation, although compensation can be directed within the will or on application to a court.<ref name="test">[http://www.duhaime.org/LegalResources/ElderLawWillsTrustsEstates/LawArticle-1211/Executor-Pay-Fees-for-the-Executor-or-Administrator-of-an-Estate.aspx "Executor Pay: Fees for the Executor or Administrator of an Estate"]. {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306043137/http://www.duhaime.org/LegalResources/ElderLawWillsTrustsEstates/LawArticle-1211/Executor-Pay-Fees-for-the-Executor-or-Administrator-of-an-Estate.aspx |date=2019-03-06}}.
