Q: can a guardian of estate be paid if they did not file each year or even at final accounting?
its been 2 years since final accounting was done and my uncle is wanting to be paid for the 5% in and 5% out. he first tried to steal the entire estate and has succeeded in physicals assets. (not much) as my mom was disabled for 10 year before she passed away. he try to be come a independent administrator and have me and my sister sign it over to him. which i investigated and found that my moms trust had money left in at time of death.
his orginally never claimed any amount until 2 years after my mothers passing. he turned in claims past the deadline so they were denied, he has now filed suit against me and my sister. saying he is owed his guardian fee. however for 10 years he never filed any request with the court, or even at the final accounting he didn't file a request either. he is wanting to settle now, i feel like we shouldn't as he is not due any fee
A: The Court may agree. Contact an Approved Guardianship Attorney in the county where the guardianship was established. If the court does not have a list on its website, call.
