Legal Question in Elder Law in New York

Question re guardianship

I was wondering who pays the Court Examiner in a guardianship case. I know the guardian gets a fee, but does the Court Examiner also get paid a fee from the incapacitated person's money.

I have another question: What happens when the money runs out? Will the guardian or co-guardian file an application to withdraw as guardian since there is no money for her to be paid?

Thank you.

Yes, the Court Examiner also gets paid from the IP's assets. When the money is gone, it's gone. Court will not allow anyone to resign for this reason.
