Supreme Court of Louisiana June 15, 1867, No. 948 (In re the Succession of Pipkins)

Taliafebko, J.

The contestation in this case relates to the adjustment ,of the attorney’s fees due by the estate. It appears that Mr. Egan was the attorney engaged by the curator to settle the affairs of the succession, and it seems that he superintended the settlement of the business generally, as the attorney of the estate. A fee of $1,000 was charged by him for his entire services.
