Valleskey v. Flagship National Bank of Miami

SCHWARTZ, Chief Judge. It is clear that attorney’s fees were properly assessed against the estate for the defense of the personal representative in a non-frivolous, but ultimately unsuccessful action by the beneficiaries to surcharge the p.r. for alleged improprieties in the performance of its duties.1 Anderson v. [542] Anderson, 468 So.2d 528 (Fla. 3d DCA 1985), pet. for review denied, 476 So.2d 672 (Fla.1985); § 733.609, Fla.Stat. (1985) (“In all actions challenging the proper exercise of a personal representative’s powers, the court shall award taxable costs ... including attorney’s fees.”). Affirmed.
