Description
When Verna Russell, administratrix of the estate of Joy Evangeline Irwin, deceased, petitioned for approval of a final accounting and for distribution of the estate, the heirs objected. They contested an allowance of $6000 in fees to Russell and $8500 in fees to her attorney, John Gatchel, for services rendered in the administration of the estate. The heirs contended that these fees were excessive and included earlier fee awards for "extraordinary services" that had been made by the court ex parte without prior notice to the heirs. Following a hearing on the heirs objection, a second magistrate determined that he did not have jurisdiction to review the first magistrates prior orders awarding extraordinary fees. On appeal from that ruling, the district court held the second magistrate did have such jurisdiction. The decision of the district court was affirmed on further appeal to the Idaho Supreme Court. See In the Matter of the Estate of Irwin, 99 Idaho 543, 585 P.2d 953 (1978).
