Sec. 1102.005. COMPENSATION OF GUARDIAN AD LITEM. (a) Regardless of whether a guardianship is created for a proposed ward and except as provided by Section 1155.151, a court that appoints a guardian ad litem under Section 1102.001 may authorize compensation of the guardian ad litem from available funds of:

(1) the proposed ward's estate; or

(2) the management trust, if a management trust has been created for the benefit of the proposed ward under Chapter 1301.

(b) Except as provided by Section 1155.151, after examining the proposed ward's assets or the assets of any management trust created for the proposed ward's benefit under Chapter 1301, and determining that the proposed ward or the management trust is unable to pay for services provided by the guardian ad litem, the court may authorize compensation from the county treasury.
