1. Executors do not get paid.
2. Family members just S@#* on the executor.

Not worth the problems.

Personally, I would not name an attorney as executor of my estate. The executor hires a lawyer to handle all legal matters for the estate and guide the executor through the process. Why not just name your lawyer as executor? I don't like it for this reason: the lawyer then names his partner as attorney for the estate. It's a built in mechanism and incentive for milking the estate for maximum lawyer fees possible. Reply to MBL. Personally, I would not name an attorney as executor of my estate.

I guess I am wondering about those law firms in the movies that always appear when a benefactor inherits something? Is this for real, is there a one time fee for this or is this an ongoing expense?
