Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
A.  Every guardian must be allowed the amount of his reasonable
expenses in the execution of his trust, and he must also have such
compensation for his services as the court in which his accounts are
settled deems just and reasonable.
B.  To the extent that the services of a guardian or limited
guardian of the property are for the collection of income of the
ward, compensation for such services shall not exceed seven and one-
half percent (7 1/2%) of the income so collected.  For the purposes
of this section, "income" means funds received by and accounted for
by the guardian or limited guardian on behalf of the ward, other
than from the sale of property of the ward, plus the net proceeds
from the sale of property of the ward in excess of the value of such
property as last determined in the guardianship proceeding.
C.  All compensation and reimbursements pursuant to this section
shall be approved by the court prior to payment.
