How Wyoming sets executor compensation

The court may adjust for unusual circumstances and allow just and reasonable extraordinary-service fees.

The calculator applies the Wyoming schedule to the value you enter, measured against the figures shown in the estate's court accounting. 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.

The figure the Wyoming schedule is applied to

The rate is only half of the answer; the other half is the number the rate is applied to, and in Wyoming that number is specific. The reviewed rule measures compensation against the amount of the decedent's probate estate accounted for. Includes inventory values adjusted for reappraisal or sale, estate accretions, and net business income, with stated deductions.
