Section 2942 Of Chapter 4. Administration By Public Guardian From California Probate Code >> Division 4. >> Part 5. >> Chapter 4.
2942
. The public guardian shall be paid from the estate of the ward
or conservatee for all of the following:
(a) Reasonable expenses incurred in the execution of the
guardianship or conservatorship.
(b) Compensation for services of the public guardian and the
attorney of the public guardian, and for the filing and processing
services of the county clerk or the clerk of the superior court, in
the amount the court determines is just and reasonable. In
determining what constitutes just and reasonable compensation, the
court shall, among other factors, take into consideration the actual
costs of the services provided, the amount of the estate involved,
the special value of services provided in relation to the estate, and
whether the compensation requested might impose an economic hardship
on the estate. Nothing in this section shall require a public
guardian to base a request for compensation upon an hourly rate of
service.
(c) An annual bond fee in the amount of twenty-five dollars ($25)
plus one-fourth of 1 percent of the amount of an estate greater than
ten thousand dollars ($10,000). The amount charged shall be deposited
in the county treasury. This subdivision does not apply if the ward
or conservatee is eligible for Social Security Supplemental Income
benefits.
