Thanks for all the advice.
I looked up the rules for CA (didn't know they had rules):
4% on first $100,000
3% on next $100,000
2% on next $800,000
1% on next $9,000,000
It goes on but will never apply to me.
This calcs out to 2.3% on the first Mil. I doubt I would have more that that left over after my extremely lavish retirement period
I am going to state in my trust that the executor will be paid 3%.
Lastly.....Brent,
I going to be buried in my '74....sorry.
