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.

A guardian and a conservator may be compensated in the amount that the court deems just and reasonable.
