How to pay myself for being an executor?
I’m selling a house that’s in a Trust in for which I’m the executor. I know it has to go back into the Trust but how do I go about paying myself for being executor of the property for the past year?

You should speak with an attorney about all of this. North Carolina allows an executor to receive up to 5 % of the value of the estate’s “receipts and disbursements" as compensation. But those funds are not guaranteed and are subject to the approval of the court prior to the closing of the estate. Good luck.
