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
commissions to be paid for personal representative’s commissions. If the total compensation for personal representative’s
commissions and attorney’s fees being requested falls within the maximum allowable commissions, 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 the 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 adjusted estate subject to administration PLUS 3.6% of
the excess over $20,000. Based on this formula, the adjusted estate subject to administration known at this time is
$
. The total allowable statutory maximum commission based on the adjusted estate subject to
administration known at this time is $
, LESS any personal representative’s commissions and 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.
IF ALL REQUIRED CONSENTS ARE NOT OBTAINED, A PETITION SHALL BE FILED, AND THE
COURT SHALL DETERMINE THE AMOUNT TO BE PAID
