30.1-18-19. (3-719) Compensation of personal representative
A personal representative is entitled to reasonable compensation for the personal
representative's services. If a will provides for compensation of the personal representative and
there is no contract with the decedent regarding compensation, the personal representative may
renounce the provision before qualifying and be entitled to reasonable compensation. A
personal representative also may renounce the personal representative's right to all or any part
of the compensation. A written renunciation of fee may be filed with the court.
