09/11/2006 SUPP RECORD/TRANSCRIPT Mary Cay Blanks BY: Mary Cay Blanks 1 VOLUME OF BRIEFS
11/09/2006 DISP-APPROVED IN PART We hold that in guardianship proceedings concerning attorney's fees under section 744.108, the only persons entitled to standing are the attorney making the fee request, the guardian, the ward, and those "interested persons" who have filed written requests for notice under Florida Probate Rule 5.060. We disapprove the reasoning in Hayes based on its complete reliance on McGinnis and disapprove McGinnis to the extent that it suggests that heirs of a ward can never have standing to participate in proceedings for fees under section 744.108. However, we approve the result in Hayes, which denies the petitioners standing to participate in the attorney's fees proceeding at issue in this case. Although Bachinger involved a petition for final discharge, we approve the Fourth District's decision, which recognizes that heirs of a ward may have standing to participate in guardianship proceedings as "interested persons."

03/14/2007 DISP-REHEARING DY The petitioners' motion for rehearing is hereby denied. The Court declines to consider the new document submitted by the petitioners.

Petitioners' Motion for Attorneys' Fees and Costs is hereby denied. Upon consideration of respondent's Motion for Attorney's Fees and Costs, it is ordered that the motion for attorney's fees is denied and the motion for costs is granted, the amount to be determined by the trial court. - RC
