Syllabus

The individual trustee of a testamentary trust sought to challenge the probate court's fee schedule as violative of her equal protection rights due to a different fee provision for corporate trustees. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in disallowing the trustee's proposed witnesses, denying her request for a special process server, and implicitly denying her constitutional argument. The trial court also did not abuse its discretion in determining that the trustee had not established that she performed any extraordinary services warranting additional trustee fees. Judgment affirmed.
