The personal representative is entitled to reasonable compensation that is determined in one of several ways: as provided in the Will; as set forth in a contract between the PR and the deceased; as agreed among the PR and the beneficaries/heirs; the amount presumed to be reasonable as calculated under state lawor as determined by the probate court.
