Counsel Fees of Guardians Denied

It was not an abuse of discretion for the Orphans’ Court to deny a petition for counsel fees from the petitioners and guardians of the alleged incapacitated person when there was no evidence presented as to the ability of the estate of the AIP to pay the fees, the requested fees included time spent on disputes between the petitioners over which of them should be the guardian, and the requested fees included time spent on petitioning for the fees. In re: M.A.D., an Alleged Incapacitated Person, 3 Fid.Rep.4th 95 (Berks O.C. 2025), on appeal, 191 MDA 2025 (Pa. Super.).
