Probate Code
Guardians and conservators (aka guardians of the estate) are generally entitled to reasonable compensation for their work. State statutes limit the fees to a certain amount which cannot be exceeded without prior court approval. Others just permit reasonable compensation and allow courts to interpret what constitutes excessive compensation.
In Delaware, a guardian of the person and a guardian of the property are each entitled to reasonable compensation.
Qualified guardians of the property must file a schedule or formula by which their fees are calculated. The Court of Chancery periodically sets rules for compensation of all other guardians of the person.
