A personal representative’s fee shall be reasonable. The

following factors may be considered in determining the

reasonableness of the fee:

(1) the time and labor reasonably required of the

personal representative;

(2) the complexity of the estate;

(3) the skill and training required to perform the personal

representative’s duties;

(4) the amount and degree of individual liability to which

the personal representative may be exposed during the

performance of the personal representative’s duties;

(5) the amount of time taken from the personal

representative’s profession;

(6) the expenses and costs incurred by the personal

representative and whether those expenses and costs were

charged to the estate;

(7) whether the personal representative retained agents

and the fees charged, if any, by those agents;

(8) if the personal representative served in more than one

capacity as attorney, accountant, appraiser, property manager,

investment advisor, or another capacity, whether the personal

representative charged separately for those other services or

did not charge for those services;

(9) whether one or more persons or corporate fiduciaries

are appointed personal representative; and

(10) other equitable factors deemed relevant.
