Who gets paid if an incapacitated person dies before the final hearing?
My brother filed a petition for appointment of permanent guardian of our incapacitated father. He was awarded temporary guardianship up until he filed for permanent guardianship. However, dad passed away before the final hearing to appoint my brother as the conservator. Is my brother entitled to have his legal fees paid from my dad's estate? My dad had no property and a small bank account with around $10,000 in it. He did have an insurance policy but just enough to pay for the funeral.
