Pennsylvania Statutes Title 71 P.S. State Government § 733-808. Compensation due institution and secretary from estates

The secretary in possession of an institution as receiver shall be entitled to collect such reasonable fees and commissions as were earned, both as to income and as to principal, and such reasonable expenses as were incurred, by the institution in its capacity as fiduciary, prior to the date on which possession was taken by the secretary. He shall also be entitled to reasonable fees and commissions, both as to income and as to principal, for any services performed, and all reasonable expenses incurred, by him on behalf of any estate of which the institution was fiduciary. The secretary shall be entitled to such commissions on principal as shall appear reasonable under all the circumstances, whether or not the trust has terminated at the time of the filing of the account or of the transfer by the secretary of the funds, property, and investments of the estate in accordance with the provisions of the instrument creating the fiduciary relationship. All sums received by the secretary under this section shall become assets of the institution of which he is in possession as receiver.

Except in cases where the secretary, pursuant to the provisions of this act, transfers funds, property, or investments of the estate without filing an account, the court in which the secretary shall file the account for the estate of which the institution was fiduciary shall award to the secretary the fees, commissions, and expenses provided for in this section.
