Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, The Honorable Katie Ranes, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Ahlers, P.J., Sandy, J., and Vogel, S.J. Opinion by Vogel, S.J. (4 pages)
A daughter appeals a district court order compelling her to cover all fees and costs associated with her petition to establish a guardianship and conservatorship for her mother, which was voluntarily dismissed two weeks after filing. OPINION HOLDS: Because good cause supports the court’s fee order, we find no abuse of discretion and affirm. We further award respondent’s counsel $3,100 in appellate attorney fees.
