(a) Upon any annual, partial or final settlement made by any trustee, the court having jurisdiction thereof may fix, determine and allow the fees or other compensation to which such trustee is entitled from an estate up to the time of such settlement, and may also fix, determine and allow an attorney's fee or compensation to be paid from such estate to attorneys representing such trustee for services rendered to the time of such settlement.

(b) In the allowance of fees to trustees and their attorneys on final settlement, the court shall take into consideration such fees as may have been allowed and paid to them prior to such final settlement, but such trustees shall be entitled to full credit for any fees allowed and paid on any annual or partial settlement after notice is given as provided for in case of final settlements.
