Gauthier v. Gauthier
Gauthier v. Gauthier
486 So. 2d 725; 1986 La. LEXIS 6115
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
Gauthier v. Gauthier
Opinion of the Court
Granted. It is ordered that the judgments of the trial court and the court
“(1) the time and labor of the notary and appraisers,
“(2) the value of the inventory.
“(3) the number of property items to be inventoried,
“(4) the fee customarily charged in the locality for similar services, and
“(5) the experience, reputation and ability of the notary and appraisers.”
The court is constrained to fix fees which are reasonable. The fees allowed heretofore are manifestly excessive. The time involved can only include work in preparation of the appraisals, not the time expended trying to collect the fees.
OTHERWISE, DENIED.
