Syllabus

<p>Decedents’ estates — Executors and administrators — Commissions —Waiver.</p> <p>An executor’s account of a decedent’s estate was filed twenty years after decedent’s death. At the audit the surviving executor claimed commissions on income received and disbursed during the period of the executorship. It appeared that the claimant had conducted the newspaper business of decedent during such period as directed by decedent’s will, that he had acted as general manager of the newspaper and had procured advertising for which services he had been compensated, but that he had taken no commissions on income. The Orphans’ Court decided that the executor had waived his right to commissions on income and dismissed exceptions to the adjudication. Held, no error.</p>
