DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is modified by deleting the fourth decretal paragraph thereof authorizing the guardian to pay the appellant an attorney's fee in the amount of $1,000, and substituting therefor a provision authorizing the guardian to pay the appellant an attorney's fee in the amount of $8,250; as so modified, the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
The Supreme Court has broad discretion in determining the reasonable amount to award as an attorney's fee in a guardianship proceeding (see Matter of Mavis L., 285 A.D.2d 509; Ricciuti v. Lombardi, 256 A.D.2d 892). However, it must provide a clear and concise explanation for its award in a written decision with reference to the following factors: (1) the time and labor required, the difficulty of the questions involved, and the skill required to handle the problems presented, (2) the attorney's experience, ability, and reputation, (3) the amount involved and the benefit flowing to the ward as a result of the attorney's services, (4) the fees awarded in similar cases, (5) the contingency or certainty of compensation, (6) the results obtained, and (7) the responsibility involved (see Matter of Mavis L., supra; Matter of Freeman, 34 N.Y.2d 1; Ricciuti v. Lombardi, supra; Matter of Stark, 174 A.D.2d 746).
Here, the Supreme Court's order failed to provide any explanation in its award of an attorney's fee. In addition, a proper analysis of the above-mentioned factors, including the time and labor required in handling this proceeding, would have resulted in a higher award. Accordingly, we modify the order as indicated to increase the amount of the award (see, Matter of Mavis L., supra).
