More details to this question:
I am the independent executor of my mother's estate. There are 4 heirs to the estate. I have spent over 500 hours doing inventory and packing her home getting it ready to sell. Not one of my siblings have helped with anything and the estate could not afford to pay packers or movers, so that left me to do it all by myself. 2500 sq ft home that was lived in for 33 years and my mother was a pack rat. Every piece of everything had to be gone through in order to put it on an inventory sheet. My question is, can I submit and invoice to the probate judge for approval and I did get estimates from moving companies on how much they charge and hour. Although I am not a "professional" mover, Do I charge the going rate for my service? I am not trying to be greedy but if it is fair and legal to receive compensation, I feel that I have worked for it.

As an executor, you are entitled to compensation by the probate code. Usually, it's five percent of non-liquid assets. Your attorney should be able to handle that for you.
