provision for the compensation of his or her personal representative, that shall
be taken as his or her full compensation unless he or she files in the court a
written instrument renouncing all claim for the compensation provided by the
will before qualifying as personal representative. The personal representative,
when no compensation is provided in the will, or when he or she renounces all
claim to the compensation provided in the will, shall be allowed such
compensation for his or her services as the court shall deem just and
reasonable. Additional compensation may be allowed for his or her services as
attorney and for other services not required of a personal representative. An
attorney performing services for the estate at the instance of the personal
representative shall have such compensation therefor out of the estate as the
court shall deem just and reasonable. <SPAN style="COLOR: red">Such compensation
may be allowed at the final account; but <B>at any time during administration a
personal representative or his or her attorney may apply to the court for an
allowance upon the compensation of the personal representative and upon
attorney's fees.</B> If the court finds that the personal representative has
failed to discharge his or her duties as such in any respect, it may deny him or
her any compensation whatsoever or may reduce the compensation which would
otherwise be allowed.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
