Mississippi personal representative compensation
Mississippi executor fees
Mississippi sets a statutory ceiling on the commission an executor or administrator may be allowed, but the controlling section, Miss. Code Ann. § 91-7-299, is published only through a commercial (LexisNexis) contract this site cannot fetch, and no digital-era enacted Mississippi bill restates it (checked via the billstatus.ls.state.ms.us per-section code-affect indexes for 2008-2025). Because the operative ceiling cannot be reproduced from a harvestable primary source, no figure is published here. Consult Miss. Code Ann. § 91-7-299 or the Chancery Court of the county of administration for the current commission ceiling.

How Mississippi sets executor compensation
No primary source this site can verify sets the rule, so the calculator returns no Mississippi number. Ask the Chancery Court whether a local rule or standing order governs fiduciary fees, and read the will first: a fee the will fixes usually controls.
No Mississippi commission figure is published here
The Mississippi Code is distributed through LexisNexis rather than served from a Mississippi government host. The address advertised as the free public copy returns a JavaScript redirect shell, and the widely mirrored third-party copies refused the request outright on the date recorded below.
Mississippi executor compensation is set by the chancery court rather than by a printed percentage, which makes an unverified summary of it doubly unsafe: there is no schedule to check a quoted figure against, so an error would not be self-evident to a reader.
This site therefore states the shape of the Mississippi rule — a chancery court allowance on the estate’s accounting — and declines to attach a rate or a range to it.
The chancery clerk in the county where the estate is administered is the office that can confirm what the current code provides and what the court in that district expects to see supporting a fee petition.
Authority that would settle this: Miss. Code Ann. tit. 91, ch. 7 (executors and administrators). The access attempt described above was made on 2026-09-17. Nothing is quoted from it, because nothing could be read from it; a figure restated from a secondary summary would look like a sourced answer without being one.
