According to Declaration on file with the Court, the statutory fee will be apportioned by the Public Guardian and Mr. Black 50/50. It is recommended the Court approve this agreement and make the order. Guardianship of Dalaney Hamilton. According to the initial pleading filed in this case, Dalaney Hamilton is a minor, aged 12-13, and is represented by her mother as guardian ad litem, who was either divorced or never married to the decedent.

Dalaney Hamilton is entitled to 33 and 1/3 percent of the estate, which includes a sizable value in real property. This requires a guardianship over the estate be established. (CRC, Rule 7.950, Prob. Code, Sec.Sec.3600-3613.) No petition for guardianship over the estate is on file.
