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.
A guardian or conservator is entitled to reasonable compensation or services and to reimbursement for room, board, clothing and other appropriate expenses paid in advance for the wards benefit, as approved by the court, for carrying out the duties and responsibilities as guardian or conservator.
