What percentage is paid to an executor?

Sabina Tomshinsky
Answered by attorney Sabina Tomshinsky
Estate Planning lawyer at Home Town Law, P.A.
Pursuant to the Florida Probate Code, personal representatives are entitled to compensation at the rate of 3% for the first $1 million. See Section 733.617 of the Florida Statutes. Florida Probate Code also contains an order of priority for paying Estate debts and specifically Section 733.707 of the Florida Statutes lists an order in which estate creditors get paid. You should really consult with a probate attorney on the specifics of your case. Good luck!

What do I do if I was removed as a beneficiary but was still asked to pay for the mortgage and bills?

James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
This is a strange story. I would need to know a lot more about it to have any opinion. I would guess it involves a trust and possible a tenancy in common.

How to transfer lost car title of a deceased person?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P. Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Unfortunately, you will likely need to pay to have a new title issued for your mother and then a transferred title to you. As long as you are the next of kin and there is no other need for probate, the car would not need to go through probate, as long as the value is less than $60k. You would go to the Secretary of State, provide them a certified copy of the death certificate and a copy of the registration, pay the fees and submit a Certificate form. You will also need to show proof of insurance. You probably do not need an attorney to help you with this.
