§ 29:362 — Compensation

Compensation payable to tutors or curators shall be based upon services rendered and they shall receive a minimum compensation of thirty-five dollars from the amount of monies received during the period covered by the account; provided however that if such monies received are more than three hundred and fifty dollars but less than five hundred dollars, the compensation of tutors and curators shall be ten per cent of the monies received in any one year; and provided also that if such monies are more than five hundred dollars, then the compensation shall be five per cent of the monies received in any one year, but not less than fifty dollars. In the event of extraordinary service rendered by such tutor or curator, the court may, upon petition and after hearing thereon, authorize additional compensation therefor payable from the estate of the ward. Notice of such petition and hearing shall be given the proper office of the veterans administration in the manner provided in the case of hearing on a fiduciary's account or other pleading. No commission or compensation shall be allowed on the monies or other assets received from a prior tutor or curator, nor upon the amount received from liquidation of loans, or other investments.
