Financial support
Executors of an estate can apply for financial support for the time and effort involved in carrying out their duties.
An executor can apply to the NSW Supreme Court for compensation for the time and effort involved with administering an estate.
This kind of payment is called 'commission', and is paid from the estate.
Generally, if there is more than one executor or administrator, they will make a joint application for commission.
