Is a court appointed guardian for an elderly person paid, and by whom?

I am my sister's Guardian, I am NOT allowed to be paid. My sister does give me a small gift at Christmas, an item her staff buys and costs less than $10. You should alert the surrogate's court that this is happening, because it should show up on the annual financial report and if this is an ongoing "gift" on a regular interval, it represents a serious conflict of interest. Put your deposition in writing with dates and what you saw happen. Sign it and send it to the court.
