What Is The Executor Fee For Ohio? How Is The Attorney Fees Figured?

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

I am finalizing things with my fathers estate. I was wondering what the executors fees are for Ohio? Does the fee come from the total estate including the home even if you do not make any profit off the home or is it what is left after everything is paid for (meaning the final balance of the estate account)
Also when we met with the attorney he told us that the courts figure in his fee. Does he get a certain percentage as well of the final estate?
Thanks!

How Do I Collect Attorney Fees That My Ex-husband Was Ordered To Pay But Won’t?

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

I was receiving child and spousal support. My ex quit paying the spousal support 2 months prior to the judge deciding to terminate it. The judge assumed he paid for the last 2 months, but he really didn’t. The judge ordered the support to be terminated at a retroactive date (2 months prior) and to apply the 2 months of spousal support payments as my attorney fees. Problem is, I never received the 2 months of spousal support payments that are now considered to be monies for my attorney fees.
