A four-tier statutory schedule, not "reasonable compensation"
Two separate 1% add-ons most states never touch
Beyond the graduated schedule, a separate flat 1% commission applies to real estate that is not sold, and another flat 1% applies to property not subject to administration but includable for federal estate tax purposes — reaching some non-probate assets most states' commission statutes never reach at all.
Joint property is excluded entirely
Joint and survivorship property, whether real or personal, is expressly excluded from any commission at all — a clean carve-out for assets that pass outside the estate.
County-level administration, not a dedicated court
The county commission functions as the probate court, with day-to-day matters handled by the county clerk's office and a fiduciary supervisor or fiduciary commissioner, rather than a judge for most routine steps. See Capital Gains Tax on the Sale for the state's separate income tax treatment of the gain.
