"Administrators are in a very similar position and their
responsibilities match executors duties however the method of their
appointment varies and they derive their powers not from a will but
from the Administration of Estates Act 1925 and the court that
appoints them."

Administrators get a fee, just as do executors. The fee schedule is
set by law in most states and it's based on the size of the estate.
They both have to post a bond, too, unless the will waives it for an
executor. The only difference between an administrator and an
executor is a will. Otherwise the rules, fees, bonds, and legal stuff
are just the same.
I just finished being an administrator and would have gotten a fee of
about $9000, except that I waived it because there were tax advantages
to inheriting it rather than earning it (I'm the only heir). The
lawyer got a fee of exactly the same amount and he didn't waive it.

At age 47, I have never really experienced the death of any loved ones
outside of the pet world. I have endured the passing of certain
relatives (i.e., grandparents), acquaintances, friends-of-friends and
co-workers, but nobody I felt a special closeness or affinity with.
Obviously, I'm hoping that this trend continues. On the other hand, I
kind of feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop
-- that there
will be a whole spate of them in a short period of time. Or maybe
it'll just be me who goes first.
"I am not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it
happens." - Woody Allen
