How Georgia sets executor compensation

The calculator applies the Georgia schedule to the value you enter, measured against the money the estate actually received and paid out. Extraordinary services such as litigation, tax work or managing real property are approved separately on top, and a fee the will fixes controls unless the court is asked to change it.
