What does an executor pay at closing on a Johns Creek estate sale?

An executor closing a Johns Creek estate sale typically covers the same items any seller pays, including attorney fees for the required Georgia closing, the state transfer tax and payoff of any remaining liens or debts against the property. The transfer tax runs $1 for the first $1,000 of consideration, then 10 cents for each additional $100, and is filed on form PT-61. Joel Boss coordinates with the estate's attorney so these costs are itemized clearly before the closing date rather than surprising the executor at the table.
