Executor in Distress

[rraineday]

My Grandfather made me executor after a fallout with my Father they had not spoken for 12 Months prior to Grandfather's death. Grandfather left everything to the four grandchildren from two marriages of my Father. My Father was left nothing, however, had received a large amount that my Grandfather had verbally told him he did not need to repay, (no paperwork) as this would be his inheritance. Now my Father has contested the will and I have agreed to split the final monies 5 ways to include my Father, just to finalise it a get on with life. My legal advice sent me papers to sign to this effect. Now My Father has said that it was not mentioned in this document the fact that I was to get an executors fee so I miss out, and that also the monies had not been invested for the 7 months prior, however, he still want's his interest and I should not get my executors fee. Can I miss out on my executors fee or is this a standard fee regardless of it being mentioned or not in the distribution document. And do I have to pay My Father any interest that would be outstanding if invested.We are not talking a large amount of money here it's just the principle of being unable to do what My Grandfather wanted and also my Father making life a misery for all. I also feel my legal advice has made mistakes.
