Legally you are entitled to pay but the law in most states
does not specify how much, only that it is equitable and fair.
Basically, the going rate.
That could vary a great deal from the rate of an attorney, a CPA, a secretary, etc.
I am also managing an estate that will take
up to 10 years to fully settle (long story).
I am legally entitled to compensation but have not paid
myself anything so far and don't intend to.
But if any of the heirs start **** and make it ugly,
that could change in a heartbeat
When your parent's trust was set up and you
were assigned POA, did it go through the courts
or just with an attorney?
I ask because in some cases, the judge can rule on compensation.
