Trustee Fees and Commissions Properly Reduced

The executor of a deceased trustee had standing to object to the account filed by the surviving trustee when other beneficiaries joined in the objections and the objection to standing was waived by not raising it until after two and a half years of litigation. Claims for legal fees were properly denied when the trustee was surcharged and the fees were incurred after all pleadings were filed, because a trustee is not entitled to fees for asserting a claim to fees. Cassalia Trusts (No. 2), 1 Fid.Rep.4th 63 (Montgomery O.C. 2023), on appeal, 666 EDA 2023 (Pa. Super.) (consolidated with 667-672 EDA 2023). (The adjudication to which this Pa.R.A.P. 1925(a) opinion relates was Cassalia Trusts, 12 Fid.Rep.3d 562 (Montgomery O.C. 2022).)
