Executorship is a gratuitous office. The testator, nevertheless, may assign the executors the remuneration he may consider proper; all without prejudice to the right they may have to collect what may be proper for their work in the division, or for any other professional services.
If the testator bequeaths or designates jointly any remuneration for the executors, the shares of those who do not accept the office shall accrue to those who may discharge it.
