To be an executor, the big trust companies typically charge between 4 and 5% of the 1st $2-million dollars of Estate assets and then scale down above that ($25k minimum fee). There are some smaller independent firms that are less expensive... but still not a cheap option.
I do agree that for many Estates it's the wiser choice.
