Provides that an attorney for a representative is entitled to reasonable compensation for the attorney's services and that an attorney who withdraws from representing a representative must file a petition for fees and costs within 30 after the withdrawal is approved by the court (instead of an attorney for a representative is entitled to reasonable compensation for the attorney's services). Effective July 1, 2010.Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts provisions of the bill as introduced and only corrects an error that misstated the 30 day period within which an attorney must file a petition for fees and costs after the court approves the attorney's withdrawal from representation. Effective July 1, 2010.Senate Floor Amendment No. 2 Further amends the Probate Act of 1975. Provides that if within 30 days after the court approves the withdrawal of an attorney from representing a representative, a motion is filed for an extension of time for the filing of a petition for fees and costs, the court may grant additional time for the filing of that petition. 1/12/2010SenateFiled with Secretary by Sen.
