(a) Except for attorneys representing creditors, the judge may allow fees for attorneys representing interested parties.
- (1) At the discretion of the judge, these fees may be charged against the interests of the party represented or as a cost of administration.
- (2) Petitions for allowance of fees must be filed before the close of the last hearing.
- (b) Nothing in this section prevents an attorney from petitioning for additional fees to be considered at the disposition of a petition for rehearing and again after an appeal on the merits. An order allowing attorney fees is subject to a petition for rehearing and to an appeal.
