IN THE MATTER OF HELEN C

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The Supreme Court awarded the guardian reasonable compensation within the meaning of Mental Hygiene Law § 81.28(a) ( see generally Matter of Lindsay, 276 A.D.2d 451; Matter of Arnold O., 256 A.D.2d 764).

The Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in its award of legal fees for the appellant's attorney ( see Ricciuti v. Lombardi, 256 A.D.2d 892). Many of the legal services performed, inter alia, were of the type customarily performed by a guardian ( see Matter of Arnold O., supra).

The appellant's remaining contentions are without merit.

RITTER, J.P., GOLDSTEIN, TOWNES and COZIER, JJ., concur.
