A March hearing date has been set on disputed legal fees incurred by the estate of singer Glen Campbell.
Under an order approved by Davidson Probate Judge David "Randy" Kennedy a probate master, Elizabeth Johnson will hold a hearing on the $211,533 fee request on March 31 at 9 a.m. Because of pandemic restrictions the hearing will be virtual.
At issue are fees from the GT Law firm, formerly known as Greenberg Traurig which include the lead attorney's hourly fee of $1,050.
Kimberly Campbell, the executor of her late husband's estate, has stated that the fees are justified because of complex legal issues involved in protecting the late singer's assets.
One of Campbell's children, Debby Campbell-Cloyd, has charged that the fees are excessive.
Meanwhile other legal and accounting fees incurred by the estate have been quietly approved.
Last month Kennedy approved fees of $64,398 to the law firm of Sherrard Roe Voigt and Harbison LLC and $20,107 to the accounting firm of Gursey Schneider.
