Subject: Cost of independent executor -- lawyer says mom can't afford it
It’s calculated as a percentage with the percentage decreasing as assets increase. Not more than 5% on the first like $50k (varies by state).
But you can just tell your mom that you will do it and then decline after her death.

A goof law firm will have an attorney do the legal work and a paralegal do the admin portion of administering the estate so not all of the work will be performed at attorney rates.
