<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Since you give so freely of great advice to this list, I wish I could give you exactly what you want. The only thing I could find in looking at my Washington Probate Deskbook
is <u>Allard v. Pacific National Bank</u>, 99 Wn.2d 394 (1983). Here the court found the bank “…liable for the damages that flowed from its breach of fiduciary duty.” Seems to me logically that any fee the fiduciary took for its services would be under the
scrutiny of this case as part of the damages to the estate. But, I don’t have that case in my back pocket.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
