Key legal question
Whether the guardian's compensation should be calculated at the attorney tariff rather than the unentgeltliche Rechtspflege tariff.
Extracted holding
Because the mandate required specific legal expertise and the guardian acted as a lawyer in a non-asset-management mandate, compensation had to be calculated according to the applicable attorney tariff.
Extracted reasoning
The assigned tasks included legal clarification, possible criminal proceedings, and claims against the canton. Those tasks necessarily required professional legal knowledge. The economic situation of the ward did not justify limiting the lawyer's fee to the legal-aid tariff where the mandate was of a legal-professional nature.
