Excessive Fees

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.

Both guardians and conservators are entitled to reasonable compensation for their services.

Utah Code Ann. § 75-5-414
