MILLER J.

Petitioner and appellant Christine Davidson was the court-appointed conservator of the person and estate of Lorraine Presha from 2009 to 2015. Presha died in March 2015. In June 2015, Davidson filed a combined petition for (1) approval of the sixth and final accounting, and (2) conservator's fees. Davidson sought conservator's fees in the amount of $12,621.60. The probate court ordered conservator's fees in the amount of $7,000.

Davidson contends the trial court erred by (1) examining Davidson's billing practices; (2) utilizing its finding that Davidson's billing practices were improper when ruling upon Davidson's petition for compensation; (3) vitiating the finality of prior cases for which Davidson served as the conservator; and (4) not utilizing the enumerated factors when ruling on her petition for compensation. We affirm the judgment.
