Question

What is the status of fees charged by executors of the estates of deceased persons?

Answer

Exploitation and rip-off. For reading and writing a couple of pages, the legal thugs charge tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of rands, depending on the amount of the estate. The fees which executors charge are haraam. These fees are allowed by the government. The Wasi (executor) may charge only for expenses he incurs in administrating the estate. The fees which they charge are exorbitant and exploitive.
