Rule 6.13 - [Effective 4/18/2024] PETITIONS FOR ALLOWANCE OF ATTORNEY'S FEES
(A) Every petition by a fiduciary or attorney for the allowance of attorney's fees for services rendered shall set forth the same facts as required in Rule 6.12, when touching compensation, and if so, the nature and effect thereof.
(B) If the petition be for the allowance of fees for recovering damages for wrongful death or injury, or other claim due the estate, the petition shall show the total amount recovered, the nature and extent of the service rendered and expense incurred by the attorney, and the amount, if any, offered in compromise before the attorney was employed in the matter.
(C) In such cases, the amount allowed as attorney's fees will be fixed by the chancellor at such sum as will be reasonable compensation for the service rendered and expense incurred without being bound by any contract made with any unauthorized persons.
(D) If the parties make an agreement for a contingent fee, the contract or agreement of the fiduciary with the attorney must be approved by the chancellor. Fees on structured settlements shall be based on the "present cash value" of the claim.
