Probate/Record: Lack Of Transcript On Probate Objection To Award Of Ordinary Fees Dooms Appeal By Objecting Party.

Probate Fee Order Presumed Correct.

            A probate court in Estate of Marshall, Case No. A150296 (1st Dist., Div. 2 Feb. 27, 2018) (unpublished) awarded an attorney $7,500 in ordinary attorney’s fees to a former attorney for an estate.  An objection was filed stating that the fee should be shared with a court-appointed administrator, which objection was not sustained.  An appeal followed, but the appellate court affirmed for a transgression we see a lot:  the lack of a reporter’s transcript on the hearing with respect to the objection, which made review impossible.
