In re the Estate of Kentana
New York Surrogate's Court
1Opinion of the Court
Wingate, S.
The court is in agreement with the result attained by the learned referee and his report will be confirmed.
As has been observed on many occasions, the reasonable compensation of counsel for the conduct of an uncomplicated estate of moderate size will ordinarily approximate between five per cent of the gross assets and a single executor’s commission.
Of course, if serious complications are encountered or the services rendered necessarily extend over a period considerably longer than that customarily required for the settlement of the usual estate, this figure may be varied.
