More details to this question:
my mother left a will choosing my sister as executor . In will it says to give 5% of money received from estate to the executor .So when we received money from life insurance she charged 5% is it legal for her to charge that fee. Thanks

"Money received from estate" is not necessarily the same as "money received from my life insurance policy." If your sister "charged" you 5%, you could object to her accounting and request that a court interpret the meaning of the language of the will as it applies to the life insurance.
