Arizona Revised Statutes Title 14. Trusts, Estates and Protective Proceedings § 14-5110. Claim deadline for compensation; definitions

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

A. In a guardianship, conservatorship or protective proceeding, unless a later claim deadline is established in advance by the court, a claim for compensation by attorneys or guardians ad litem who intend to be paid by the ward or protected person's estate is waived if not submitted to the fiduciary in writing within four months after either rendering the service, incurring the cost, initial appointment of the fiduciary or the effective date of this section, whichever is later. A claim is deemed submitted on delivery, mailing or electronic transmission to the fiduciary. A subsequent appointment of a substitute fiduciary does not renew the claim period.

B. This section does not apply to an attorney seeking compensation based on a contingency fee agreement.

C. For the purposes of this section:

1. “Compensation” includes fees, costs and reimbursable expenses.

2. “Estate” includes any estate established pursuant to this title except a trust unless the trust is supervised by the court and the ward or protected person is a beneficiary.
