In re Guardianship of G.T.C.
Annotate this CaseChristine and Daniel Iiams were appointed as temporary guardians and conservators of two children. The Iiamses let their temporary guardianship and conservatorship lapse and agreed to the appointment of another couple as permanent guardians and conservators of the children. The Iiamses then filed a motion to recover the attorney’s fees they incurred while they were the temporary guardians and conservators. The circuit court denied the motion, concluding that the Iiamses were personally responsible for paying the attorneys’ fees. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that the guardianship and conservatorship attorney was statutorily entitled to reasonable compensation from the children’s estate, and the circuit court erred in requiring attorney’s fees to be recovered from the Iiamses personally. Remanded.
