BEFORE THE REGISTER OF WILLS FOR
, MARYLAND
IN THE ESTATE OF:
ESTATE NO.
CONSENT TO COMPENSATION FOR
PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE AND/OR ATTORNEY
I understand that the law, Estates and Trusts Article, §7-601 provides a formula to establish the maximum total
compensation to be paid for personal representative's commissions and/or attorney's fees without order of court. If the total
compensation being requested falls within the maximum allowable amount, and the request is consented to by all unpaid
creditors who have filed claims and all interested persons, this payment need not be subject to review or approval by Court.
A creditor or an interested party may, but is not required to, consent to these fees. The formula sets total compensation at
9% of the first $20,000 of the gross estate PLUS 3.6% of the excess over $20,000. Based on this formula, the total
allowable statutory maximum based on the gross estate known at this time is $
LESS any
personal representative's commissions and/or attorney's fees previously approved as required by law and paid. To date,
$
in personal representative's commissions and $
in Attorney's fees have
been paid.
