65E Executor may elect to charge fees instead of commission
If a will provides for an executor to charge commission, the executor may instead elect to charge fees for executorial services if the fees are—
(a) less than the amount to which the executor would have been entitled if the executor had not made the election; and
(b) calculated at a rate that does not take into account any specialist professional skills of the executor; and
(c) distinguished from any fees charged for professional services.
