§ 2-7-804 — Fees of attorney for estate; schedule

(a) If the court determines that by reason of unusual
circumstances the fee computed hereafter is not equitable after
considering the time and effort reasonably expended and the
responsibility with which the personal representative was
charged, the court may allow such additional fee as the court
determines proper. The court shall allow the attorney for the
estate fees for ordinary services rendered to the estate unless
the attorney files a written waiver as to a part or all thereof.
The fees shall be computed on the basis of the amount of the
decedent's probate estate accounted for as follows:
(i) For the first one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) of
the basis, ten percent (10%);
(ii) For the amount over one thousand dollars
($1,000.00) and not exceeding five thousand dollars ($5,000.00)
of the basis, five percent (5%);
(iii) For the amount over five thousand dollars
($5,000.00) and not exceeding twenty thousand dollars
($20,000.00) of the basis, three percent (3%);
(iv) For all sums over twenty thousand dollars
($20,000.00) of the basis, two percent (2%).
(b) In addition, further fees as are just and reasonable
may be allowed by the court to the attorney for the estate for
extraordinary expenses or services actually incurred or rendered
by the attorney and necessary to the proper administration and
distribution of the estate. Extraordinary services shall include
but not be limited to services rendered by the attorney relative
to any tax matters and services rendered by the attorney in
connection with any litigation to which the decedent or the
estate is a party.
(c) The amount of the decedent's probate estate accounted
for shall be determined pursuant to W.S. 2-7-803(c).
(d) Nothing herein shall prevent the personal
representative and the attorney from negotiating lower fees.
