What does an executor pay at closing on a Folly Beach estate sale?

An executor selling a Folly Beach estate pays the same customary closing costs any seller would, including the state's deed recording fee, prorated property taxes through the closing date, and the estate's own attorney fees for handling the probate side of the transaction. The estate's funds, not the executor personally, cover these costs from the sale proceeds. Brian coordinates with the estate's attorney so both sides of the paperwork line up before closing.
