Section 8547 Of Article 8. Special Administrators From California Probate Code >> Division 7. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 4. >> Article 8.
8547
. (a) Subject to the limitations of this section, the court
shall fix the compensation of the special administrator and the
compensation of the attorney of the special administrator.
(b) The compensation of the special administrator shall not be
allowed until the close of administration, unless the general
personal representative joins in the petition for allowance of the
special administrator's compensation or the court in its discretion
so allows. Compensation for extraordinary services of a special
administrator may be allowed on settlement of the final account of
the special administrator. The total compensation paid to the special
administrator and general personal representative shall not,
together, exceed the sums provided in Part 7 (commencing with Section
10800) for compensation for the ordinary and extraordinary services
of a personal representative. If the same person does not act as both
special administrator and general personal representative, the
compensation shall be divided in such proportions as the court
determines to be just or as may be agreed to by the special
administrator and general personal representative.
(c) The total compensation paid to the attorneys both of the
special administrator and the general personal representative shall
not, together, exceed the sums provided in Part 7 (commencing with
Section 10800) as compensation for the ordinary and extraordinary
services of attorneys for personal representatives. When the same
attorney does not act for both the special administrator and general
personal representative, the compensation shall be divided between
the attorneys in such proportions as the court determines to be just
or as agreed to by the attorneys.
(d) Compensation of an attorney for extraordinary services to a
special administrator may be awarded in the same manner and subject
to the same standards as for extraordinary services to a general
personal representative, except that the award of compensation to the
attorney may be made on settlement of the final account of the
special administrator.
