Oklahoma § 58-527 - Fees and commissions

§ 58-527. Fees and commissions

A. When no compensation is provided by the will, or the

executor renounces all claim thereto, he must be allowed commissions

upon the amount of the whole estate accounted for by him, excluding

all property not ranked as assets, as follows:

1. For the first thousand dollars, at the rate of five percent

(5%);

2. For the next Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), at the rate

of four percent (4%); and

3. For all amounts above Six Thousand Dollars ($6,000.00), at

the rate of two and one-half percent (2 1/2%); and the same

commission must be allowed administrators.

In all cases such further allowance may be made, as the judge of

the district court may deem just and reasonable, for any

extraordinary service. The total amount of such allowance must not

exceed the amount of commissions allowed by this section.
