The tutor has the right to receive a remuneration from the property of the minor or incapacitated person.
When such remuneration shall not have been fixed by those naming the testamentary tutor, or for the tutor by effect of the law or the dative tutor, the Court of First Instance shall fix the same, taking into consideration the amount of the estate and the labor which the administration thereof will require.
In no case shall the remuneration be less than four nor more than ten per cent of the net income or proceeds of the property.
