Conservatorship of the Estate of Ida McQueen. Fessha Taye, as Conservator v. Carol…

Summary

The court held that attorney fees incurred defending an elder-abuse judgment on appeal are not governed by the Enforcement of Judgments Law and were timely claimed under the appellate-cost procedures. Fees incurred in a separate fraudulent-transfer action to preserve assets for satisfaction of the judgment were enforcement costs subject to the requirement that they be claimed before the judgment was fully satisfied, and the motion for those fees was untimely. The judgment was therefore affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for further proceedings.
