New Section H2
Hayward v. Plant is a Connecticut case where the executrix challenged the trial court's reduced award for executor compensation, arguing it was excessive. The appellate court held that separate, apportioned compensation should be awarded to each executor based on the services they provided, with a wide difference between active and inactive executors. The court affirmed the trial court's full authority to determine the compensation, as long as it was reasonable and properly apportioned.
