A. The judges of each circuit court shall appoint as many commissioners of
accounts as may be necessary to carry out the duties of that office. The
commissioner of accounts shall have general supervision of all fiduciaries
admitted to qualify in the court or before the clerk of the circuit court and
shall make all ex parte settlements of the fiduciaries&#8217; accounts. The

B. In the event more than one commissioner of accounts is appointed, each
commissioner of accounts shall maintain his own office and keep his own books,
records, and accounts. Each commissioner of accounts shall retain the power of
supervision over every account, matter, or thing referred to him until a final
account is approved for such account, matter, or thing, unless he resigns,
retires, or is removed from office, in which case his successor shall continue
such duties.

C. For any given service performed, each commissioner of accounts shall have the
authority to establish a lesser fee than that prescribed by the court or to
waive one or more fees.
