Wyoming Real Estate Sale: Costs & Commission Explained

A real percentage table, not just "reasonable compensation" — and the attorney can be entitled to the exact same one.

Wyo. Stat. §2-7-803, §2-7-804

By the FigureMyTax Editorial Team · Reviewed 2026 · How we calculate

Quick answer: the ordinary 5-6% realtor commission applies as usual, plus a statutory percentage fee for the personal representative (10/5/3/2% tiered), plus potentially the identical schedule again for the estate attorney. See how this plays out for your own numbers in the Wyoming probate real estate sale calculator.

A genuine tiered percentage, not "reasonable compensation"

Confirmed current: under Wyo. Stat. §2-7-803, the personal representative is entitled to a statutory commission: 10% on the first $1,000, 5% on the next $4,000, 3% on the next $15,000, and 2% on amounts over $20,000 — a real percentage schedule, unlike most states that have moved to a pure reasonableness standard.

The court can go above the table, for good reason

§2-7-803(a) lets the court allow an additional fee where the computed amount is not equitable given the time, effort, and responsibility involved, and (b) separately compensates extraordinary services such as litigation or tax matters.

Co-personal-representatives split one fee

Co-personal representatives share a single statutory commission, which the court allocates among them based on services rendered — not a separate full fee for each.

Bond is required, but routinely waived

A bond is required by default under Wyo. Stat. §2-3-101, but it's routinely waived if the will excuses it or all heirs consent, and the court can set it below full estate value in appropriate cases.
