Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the will, a personal representative who is an attorney retained to perform services for the personal representative may receive compensation for services as a personal representative or for services as an attorney for the personal representative, but not both, unless the court:
(a) Approves a different method of compensation in advance; and
(b) Finds that method of compensation to be for the advantage, benefit and best interests of the decedent’s estate.
2. The provisions of this section shall not be construed to disallow compensation for services rendered by an attorney as a personal representative if:
(a) Such services are included as part of the legal services of the attorney in a manner consistent with NRS 150.060; and
(b) The attorney does not receive compensation pursuant to subsection 1 of NRS 150.020.
3. The services which are rendered by a personal representative who is an attorney and for which compensation is requested pursuant to this section include services rendered by an employee, associate or partner in the same firm of such an attorney and services rendered by an affiliate of such an attorney.
