📣 New! Personal Representative Commission Calculator for Maryland Estates
If you’ve been appointed as a personal representative (also called an executor) for an estate in Maryland, one of the first questions you may have is: “What compensation am I entitled to?” Maryland law (Estates & Trusts § 7-601) allows personal representatives to receive a commission based on the gross value of the estate — but the actual numbers can be confusing. That’s why we built this free, easy-to-use calculator.

Our Maryland PR Commission Calculator helps you:

The calculator is now live on our site — and it’s completely free to use. No signup, no downloads. Just plug in the estate value, and get a clear, formatted breakdown of the commission.
