In Re Conservatorship of Robert E. Hathaway

Syllabus

Appellant attorney appeals the denial of his request for attorney's fees to be paid from the estate of a ward in a conservatorship proceeding. The trial court denied the request on the bases that the legal services contract at issue did not provide for the payment of fees from the estate, the ward lacked capacity to enter into a power of attorney giving the executor of the contract authority to do so, and the applicant attorney was never appointed as attorney ad litem for the ward. We affirm.
