Section 79.21. Compensation of guardian

(a)  Where  a  guardian  has  received  only  the  benefits  from  the
  administration or income from such benefits, compensation payable to the
  guardian for administering the estate of a ward shall be  fixed  by  the
  court not to exceed five per centum of the income of the ward during any
  year.  In  the event of extraordinary services rendered by such guardian
  the court may,  upon  petition  and  after  hearing  thereon,  authorize
  additional  compensation  therefor, payable from the estate of the ward.
  Notice of such petition and hearing shall be given the proper office  of
  the administration. No compensation shall be allowed on the corpus of an
  estate  received  from a preceding guardian. The guardian may be allowed
  from the estate of his ward reasonable premiums, not exceeding  one  per
  centum  per  annum  upon  the  amount  of  the  bond, paid by him to any
  corporate surety upon his bond.
    (b) Where a guardian has also received property of the ward other than
  benefits and income therefrom, additional compensation may  be  had,  in
  the  case of an incompetent ward, as prescribed by article seventy-eight
  of this chapter, and in the case of an infant ward, as prescribed by the
  surrogate's court.
