Key legal question
Whether the guardian fee was correctly set at CHF 2,900 instead of the claimed hourly-based amount.
Extracted holding
The fee assessment was lawful and appropriate; the appellant failed to show that special professional expertise was necessary for this mandate or that a CHF 99 hourly rate was agreed.
Extracted reasoning
The mandate was relatively simple, the ward’s situation was stable and not especially complex, and the appellant’s specialist qualifications were not decisive. The cantonal tariff-based assessment was compatible with federal law.
