Probate courts are authorized to allow in the settlement of the accounts of any limited guardian or guardian such reasonable sums as the limited guardian or guardian shall have paid for the suitable support of his or her ward and the ward's family, and also a reasonable compensation to the limited guardian or guardian for his or her services. It is permissible for a limited guardian or guardian to decline compensation, and shall not be grounds for removal of the limited guardian or guardian.
