1. A petition in a formal testacy or appointment proceeding,
2. An application for informal probate or informal appointment,
3. A petition for supervised administration,
4. A petition to appoint a guardian,
5. A petition to appoint a conservator or make other protective order.
B. If the same person petitions for special letters as well as for general letters in a single estate, he shall pay only one fee. If in a single estate the same person files an application or petition under title 14, chapter 3 and a subsequent petition under the same chapter a fee established pursuant to section 12-284 shall be paid for each such filing. If a petition to appoint a guardian also requests appointment of a conservator or other protective order, only one fee shall be due for the filing. If the public fiduciary is the petitioner, the fee shall not be required to be paid on filing any of the petitions or applications for a protective order, except that such fee shall be paid by the public fiduciary out of any assets of each such estate prior to his discharge at the termination of such estate.
C. Any person opposing a petition in a testacy or appointment proceeding or appointment of a guardian or conservator shall pay a fee established pursuant to section 12-284 to the clerk. Every person opposing such contest, unless he has previously paid a clerk's fee in the matter, shall pay a fee established pursuant to section 12-284 to the clerk. The provisions of sections 12-311 and 12-312 in relation to several persons appearing by the same attorney are applicable to this section.
