What’s in it
This bill relates to the calculation of attorney fees for attorneys representing personal representatives in administration of estates. Current law allows a reasonable attorney fee for the personal representative’s attorney, as may be determined by the court, to be taxed as part of the costs of administration of estates. The current fee may not be in excess of the schedule of fees provided for personal representatives, which sets a maximum fee based on certain percentages of the gross assets of the estate. The bill provides that the attorney fee may not be in excess of the schedule of fees provided for personal representatives or the attorney’s normal hourly rate, whichever is less.
