Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York

compensation for family member care giver

I have been the full time family member care giver for my mother. I have been taking care of her 24 hours 7 days a week for the last two years. At the time my mothers will is probated can I submit a request to the court, to be compensated for the time I was her care giver and if so, what rate of payment is allowed.

Thank you in advance
